Gopal Italia, an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA representing the Visavadar assembly constituency in Junagadh district, Gujarat, accused police of visiting his home in Surat and intimidating his family. Italia alleged that police misbehaved with his elderly mother and questioned the security guard about his movements. In response, Surat Commissioner of Police Anupam Singh Gahlaut stated that the police's visit was a routine procedure to serve a non-bailable warrant issued by a civil court in Mehsana. The warrant was related to a criminal case under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Epidemic Diseases Act. According to police, the e-Summons application mandates that officers must visit the accused's residence to execute such warrants. If the accused is not present, officers are required to document the visit with photographs. The court warrant specifically directed the police to arrest Italia and present him before the court.
