Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Karnataka Police have arrested three Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fans for allegedly sacrificing a goat in front of a cutout of cricketer Virat Kohli in Mariyammanahalli village of Molakalmuru taluk, Chitradurga district, officials said on Tuesday.

The arrested persons -- Sanna Palayya (22 years), Jayanna (23 years), and Tippe Swamy (28 years) -- are all residents of Mariyammanahalli.

The incident came to light after a video of the ritual following RCB’s thrilling victory over the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru surfaced on social media and quickly went viral, prompting police action.
