Officials of RCB and the event management group were arrested after a stampede that killed 11 people in Bengaluru.
Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir said he had not wanted a road show even after India’s T20 World Cup win in 2007.
Event management firm, DNA Entertainment Private Limited and Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) other accused.
The incident was reportedly triggered by a combination of factors, including overcrowding, poor coordination between organisers and police, inadequate security arrangements, and a hastily announced victory parade, as per PTI.
The incident happened on Wednesday while people were trying to enter the stadium to participate in the celebration event.
During the chaos, some people fell on the ground, some got injured while trying to scale huge gates to gain entry into the stadium.
The CM also announced a compensation of ₹10 lakh each to the kin of the deceased and free treatment for the injured.
