RCB Victory Parade: After the victory of the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) has filed a petition in the Karnataka High Court demanding the cancellation of the FIR lodged on the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) during the victory rally of Bangalore (RCB).

This petition KSCA President Raghuram Bhat, Secretary A.K. Shankar and Treasurer E.S. Jairam has filed.

This incident has raised questions on the preparations of the administration and the organizers.

Police arrested four people

The police, taking strict action in the case, have arrested four people. According to sources, those arrested include Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) marketing chief Nikhil Sosh and Sunil Matthew, senior officer of event management company DNA Network.
