BREAKING: Karnataka HC quashes FIR against BJP chief BY Vijayendra in money laundering case

Details awaited.

The Karnataka High Court has quashed the FIR registered against BJP State President BY Vijayendra, who was accused of extorting money under the guise of electoral bonds. The case, which also names Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman as a co-accused, was filed at Tilaknagar police station in Bengaluru.

This case had triggered significant political discussions in the state, given the high-profile nature of those involved. While the FIR was initially registered over allegations of financial irregularities and extortion, the High Court's decision now marks a major turning point.
