Karnataka Government Had Held RCB Responsible A report from the Karnataka government dated 17 July had surfaced. The report held RCB responsible for the incident, also mentioning Kohli. The Karnataka government stated that RCB did not seek any permission from the government for the victory parade organized at Chinnaswamy.
