Overview
- Surat officers who went to Gopal Italia’s Mota Varachha home Tuesday said they were executing a Mehsana court’s non-bailable warrant in a 2020 case.
- Italia posted a video alleging officers misbehaved with his elderly mother and accused state Home Minister Harsh Sanghvi of sending police to threaten his family.
- Police said they did not find him at the address, took photographs of the residence, and uploaded the images through the court’s e-Summons system as proof of the attempt.
- A copy of the warrant shared by police directs Italia’s arrest and production before the court, and no arrest was reported after the visit.
- The case cites unlawful assembly, wrongful restraint, disobeying public orders, and pandemic rule violations under the Epidemic Diseases Act, indicating alleged breaches tied to 2020 restrictions.
