Shirva: A case has been filed against Congress candidate Jayaprakash Hegde for allegedly violating the election code of conduct during his visit to the fair of the Jarandaya temple in Shirva village. Vincent Vinod D'Souza from the Kapu Playing Squad team reported that Hegde attended the fair and conducted a public meeting on March 26 around 11:30 pm.

A case has been registered at the Shirva Police Station based on D'Souza's complaint, citing a violation of the election code of conduct.
