On Tuesday, the Karnatak High Court ordered a criminal investigation (CID) department to arrest or take any coercive step against Rajesh V. Menon, the main operating director (COO) of Royal Challengers Sports PVT. Ltd. (RCSPL) and Venkata Vardhan Thimmaia, CEO of DNA Entertainment Ltd., in connection with criminal proceedings registered with regard to June 4 in front of the M. Chinnaswama stadium.
Justice Sr Krishna Kumar approved the Provisional Order on the RCSPL petition, owned by the Royal Challengers Bengalur (RCB) team, and DNA, the official manager of the RCSPL event.
However, the court ordered the petitioners to cooperate with the CID Pro probe.
Meanwhile, the court also ordered the police not to contribute to the next two first information reports (companies) registered on the basis of the complaint of injured persons in the same stampede incident, which was registered by the first fir. The court approved this order after it was pointed out that more companies in connection with the same incident were not admissible in the law, because the police would have to handle multiple complaints about the same incident according to one company.
RCSPL and DNA questioned the registration of companies against them and accused the main Minister Siddaramaiaha of the Grand Assembly for the celebrations of RCB victory by pointing to the court to sign up for social media – “joining this historical victory” – attracted a large number of people and later joined the fans.
The accusation that their social media published RCB fans to participate in victory celebrations without obtaining permission that the petitioners’ companies claimed that the same act of inviting the public to celebrate committed the main minister, who, like RCSPL, invited social media.
His mot drank
Meanwhile, the division’s bench, including the reigning chief judge V. Kameswar Rao and the CM Joshi, triggered RCSPL, DNA Entertainment and Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) in the SUO MOTU court, and ordered editions.
The bench postponed another hearing for a petition and at the same time asked a state lawyer to answer why the reports and documents presented by the state government in a sealed cover were not to be published.
