Luxury Cars Seized: Reddy's Convoy Controversy

The Gangavathi police have seized three luxury cars belonging to mining baron and MLA Janardhana Reddy. The cars allegedly interfered with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's convoy, causing a potential accident risk. Reddy claims urgency due to a family event required him to cross the convoy route.

In a dramatic turn of events on October 4, the Gangavathi police seized three luxury cars from mining baron and MLA Janardhana Reddy, citing security concerns for Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. The incident, involving Reddy's vehicles allegedly breaching the convoy route, has sparked controversy.

The chief minister was visiting Gangavathi when Reddy's cars created a scare by crossing the road divider and briefly interrupting the convoy. Police warned that the situation could have escalated into a major accident had Reddy's car been struck.

Janardhana Reddy, reacting to the incident, stated he had been waiting for the chief minister's convoy for half-an-hour, blaming urgent family commitments for his actions. He argued that public figures should avoid causing such disturbances, particularly when personal emergencies arise.
