India, Oct. 21 -- The Karnataka high court has directed the Bengaluru police not to harass Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal and others in connection with an abetment to suicide case involving the death of a 38-year-old employee. The case was registered this month.

In an order passed last week, Justice Mohammad Nawaz, hearing a petition filed by Aggarwal, the company Ola Electric, and Subrat Kumar Dash, the head of the vehicle homologation department at the company, said that the police must not harass the petitioners under the "guise of an investigation."

"The police who are investigating into the case... registered at Subramanyapura Police Station, Bengaluru City, shall not harass the petitioners in the guise of investigation," the court said....
