Karnataka High Court halts action against Anantkumar Hegde

The Karnataka High Court has temporarily stopped police from taking action against former BJP MP Anantkumar Hegde until July 30.
This follows a road rage case where Hegde is accused of having a businessman assaulted after a traffic dispute on June 23.
Hegde pushed back, saying the FIR filed against him, his driver, and his gunman isn't valid.

TL;DR

Investigation still on; next steps depend on legal process

While police can't act for now, the investigation isn't off.
The court wants Hegde and others to cooperate fully as things move forward.
Any next steps—like filing charges—will depend on how this legal challenge plays out, so both sides are waiting to see what happens next.
