The complaint was lodged at the Cubbon Park Police Station.

He said the next step will be against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), the Karnataka State Cricket Association, and their publicist, DNA Entertainment, Siddaramaiah told the media this evening.
Seemanth Kumar Singh will now replace city police chief B Dayananda.
As per preliminary findings, the KSCA, DNA Networks, and the RCB franchise went ahead with the felicitation ceremony of the winning IPL team despite not having received permission.
Earlier, FIRs were also filed against the RCB franchise; DNA Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., an event management company; and the KSCA for culpable homicide, illegal assembly, and other serious charges.
They did not provide proper facilities or manage the crowd entry, even after being warned by the police, according to the initial investigation.
