Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi said on Wednesday that the question of filing FIR against his son Chidananda Savadi will not arise as he was not in the car that hit a person near Hungund of Bagalkot.

Speaking to media persons here, he stated that it is unfortunate that a man was killed in the accident that took place on Tuesday. His son was in a Fortuner car and another car which was in tow met with accident. The allegations that his son's name has been dropped from the FIR is not fair. Truth will come out after the probe, Savadi told.
