Karnataka High Court Hears Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal’s Plea to Quash Suicide FIR

The Karnataka High Court is hearing a petition filed by Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal and others seeking to quash an FIR registered against them for alleged abetment to suicide of a former company employee.

The complaint accuses the management of creating unbearable work conditions that allegedly drove the employee to take his life. Aggarwal’s counsel argued that the allegations are baseless, lacking specific evidence of any direct instigation or intent to abet suicide.

The petitioners have also sought interim relief, requesting a stay on the investigation and a direction restraining the police from taking any coercive action against them until the matter is adjudicated.
