A video showing officials checking the vehicle has gone viral on social media. According to sources, Bommai was heading to Ghati Subramanya temple in a private car -- as he had surrendered his official car on the day the election schedule was announced on Wednesday -- when it was stopped at Hosahudya checkpost. 

 "Nothing objectionable was found, and officials then allowed the vehicle to go, and the Chief Minister continued his journey," sources added. PTI
