On Wednesday, at least 11 people died and dozens were injured in Stampede outside the Bengaluru stadium.
Police in the city of Bengaluru, in southern India, arrested four people after a stampede during the Cricket Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) team (RCB) Indian Premier League The victory celebrations killed 11 people and injured at least 47, local media reported.
On Friday, three people from an event management company and an official of the RCB team was arrested on Friday.
Media Outlet India said today that Nikhil Sosale, the Marketing Chief of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, had been arrested at Bengaluru airport.
The Indian Express newspaper reported that Sosale had been arrested with a framework for an event management company.
There was no immediate comment from RCB.
Tens of thousands of people had packed the streets of the state of southern Karnataka on Wednesday to welcome their hero Virat Kohli and his RCB team after defeating the kings of Punjab in the Indian Premier League final.
While the team celebrated with the trophy inside a city stadium, thousands of people tried to pass through the doors, leading to a stampede.
The franchise later said that the incident was “unhappy” and had promised a million Indian rupees ($ 11,655) to each family of the 11 deceased fans.
Deaths caused general anger and the best police officers were suspended.
Thursday at a press conference, the Karnataka chief minister, Siddaramaiah, who uses only one name, criticized suspended officials.
“These officers seem irresponsible and negligent and it was decided to suspend them,” said Siddaramaiah.
The chief minister also said that “legal action has been taken against RCB representatives”, as well as the event organizers and the state cricket association. He noted that a first information report, which marks the start of a police investigation, had been “recorded against them”.
Kohli, who obtained the best scoring in the final, said that he was “as long as the words” after the celebrations of a dream dream, the first crown IPL, turned into a tragedy.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the accident “absolutely heartbreaking”.
Stamps occur frequently in India, mainly during religious events, but it was the first time in 45 years that fans died during a crush during a sporting event, the local media said.
India’s cricket coach, Gautam Gambhir, said on Thursday that he had not supported such road and celebrations.
“The celebration is important. But more important than this is the life of anyone. So, if we are not prepared or if we cannot manage the crowd this way, then we may not have to have these lows,” Gambir told journalists.
The IPL Pioneer sold its diffusion rights in 2022 for five seasons to the world media giants for $ 6.2 billion, which does it among the most classified sports leagues in terms of cost per game.
