Karnataka High Court stayed criminal proceedings against Ashuthosh Hegde, son of former BJP Union minister Anantkumar Hegde, in a road rage assault case filed in Bengaluru Rural district. The court found insufficient evidence in the chargesheet linking the younger Hegde to the alleged assault, noting he was named as accused only after chargesheet filing despite not being mentioned in the original FIR.
