Karnataka High Court quashed a FIR registered against BJP MP Tejasvi Surya in an alleged case of spreading fake news regarding the suicide of a farmer in Haveri. Justice M Nagaprasanna passed the order on a plea by Surya seeking to quash the FIR. On November 8, Surya posted on his X handle that a farmer in the State committed suicide after his land was taken over by Waqf board.
