Speaking to reporters, Yadavada said that Usha had come to the lab on the night of June 12 and asked to get her blood tested as she was reportedly suffering from chest pain. "After collecting her blood sample, she abused me with foul language and five others who accompanied her attacked me and snatched cash, gold and my mobile phone and fled the scene," he alleged.
In 2016, I had filed a defamation case against four persons over a report telecast in Public TV in 2015. Subsequently, the Dharwad Bench of Karnataka High Court had dismissed their appeal filed seeking quashing of defamation case against them. Later, a city court had issued a non-bailable warrant against them seeking clarification. Keeping this in mind, they had assaulted me, he alleged.

Congress misleading public on National Herald case, matter still in court: BJP
New Delhi (PTI): The BJP on Wednesday accused the Congress of running misleading propaganda over the trial court's decision in the National Herald case and said the court refused to take cognisance of the complaint but did not set aside the case.
The case is still pending trial in the Delhi High Court, and the trial court in its order on Tuesday said that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) can continue its investigation, BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia asserted.
"The court yesterday (Tuesday) said that since it is a private complaint and no FIR has been lodged, it will not take cognizance of it. It's a technical matter. The court also said that ED can continue its investigation further. The court did not set it aside," Bhatia told a press conference at the BJP headquarters here
"Its trial is still going on. Sonia Gandhi is still Accused Number-1 and Rahul Gandhi Accused Number-2," the BJP spokesperson said, alleging, "The Gandhi family thrives on deceit, deception, and propaganda."
