An ambulance that had picked an accident victim and was trying to rush the victim to a nearby hospital was stopped to let Deve Gowda's car pass. In the video it can be seen that the ambulance was given clearance initially, but as soon as the ambulance got really close to the car that Deve Gowda was in, it was stopped. Reacting to the incident, Deve Gowda said, "I am not a person to have any privileges, I am only a small politician.
