"A deliberate attempt on my life," alleges minister after accident

After a truck rammed into his escort car in Karnataka on Tuesday, union minister Anantkumar Hegde took to his Twitter page to allege that the incident was a "deliberate attempt" on his life. Hegde tweeted, "A deliberate attempt on my life seems to have been executed just now. A truck on the national highway, near Halageri in Ranebennur taluk of Haveri district, tried to hit my vehicle. Since my vehicle was in top speed, it escaped the hit."

The minister posted multiple tweets and urged the police to investigate the matter. Reportedly, the truck driver was arrested.

I urge the police to take the case seriously in spilling the truth out from this guy named Nasir.  There might be a bigger nexus behind this incident and am sure Police would expose all of them. pic.twitter.com/CXQuEZKMqD
