Posting pictures and video of the accident on Twitter, Hegde alleged threat to his life, claiming that he just narrowly escaped a ‘deliberate attempt’ made on his life.

The accident took place Tuesday midnight when a truck rammed into the car in Hegde’s convoy, damaging the vehicle and fracturing the occupants shoulder. Hegde, who was travelling in another vehicle, just ahead of the car that met with the accident managed to escape unhurt.

“A deliberate attempt on my life seems to have been executed just now. A truck on NH, near Halageri in Ranebennur taluk of Haveri district has hit my escort vehicle which tried to hit my vehicle in the first instance. Since our vehicle was in top speed we escaped the hit,” tweeted Hegde.

In another tweet, the minister said, “The vehicle had been driven in the wrong direction and was parked right in the road horizontally. As soon as our convoy approached he has driven in great speed and had tried hitting our car. As our car was running in good speed we passed away before he could ram us…I suspect serious attempt on my life looking at the incident as it doesn’t make an accident. The driver has purposefully tried hitting our vehicle and then hit our escort vehicle which is quiet evident in this video.”

Hinting towards possible foul play behind the accident, Hegde called for a thorough probe into the accident adding that the driver, Nasir was not driving under the influence of acohol.
