A police complaint was filed against Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli on Friday in connection with the Bengaluru stampede case that claimed 11 lives and occurred during a felicitation ceremony of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) after their IPL win, media report said.

The complaint was lodged at the Cubbon Park Police Station.
Eleven people died and nearly 50 were injured when the crowd outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium swelled and went uncontrollable turning the celebratory mood into a nightmare within moments.
On Thursday, Siddaramaiah, who is under attack from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over Wednesday's stampede, suspended the police commissioner and his deputy.
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.
