This is his third car accident after the incident in Bengaluru and his car crash with a truck at Hanagal of Haveri.

Anant had alleged the Hanagal incident as an attempt to kill him when he discovered the driver of the truck was a Muslim. However, the case was later closed as just an accident and not a murder attempt, when it came to light that the truck belonged to a BJP leader.
