When he head of this he called Mumbai Police and volunteered to come to Mumbai at the earliest. He was shocked and dismayed that the police had chosen to make this surprise visit with a non bailable warrant against him and cause great humiliation to his family and loved ones.
On 08 Sept 2012 he himself came to BKC police station and was arrested. He is still unsure of exactly what his crime is. He has been told that complaint was filed by one Amit Arvind Katarnoure and he is booked under Section 124 for Sedition - an archaic law made by our colonial masters now being used by our corrupt masters. He is also charged with section 66 A of the IT Act and the 1971 National Emblem Act. He has been arrested and detained at a police lock up in Bandra West and will be produced in a Holiday Court at Bandra Family Court Room No 9 and 11 am on Sunday 9th September.
