Three FIRs have been registered in opposition to Aman Chopra in Bundi, Alwar and Dungarpur districts where he has been accused of sedition, hurting religious sentiments and selling enmity between two religious groups under numerous sections of the IT Act.
Police said that the Rajasthan Court had stayed the arrest in cases registered in Bundi and Alwar, however on the FIR lodged in Dungarpur district, the court has issued a warrant of arrest.
“Our team is camping in Noida and searching all possible locations to trace him. Yesterday also our team went to Chopra’s house but he was not found there and his residence was locked,” Dungarpur SP Sudhir Joshi told PTI.
When asked about cooperation from the Noida police in the matter, Mr Joshi said, “Our team was stopped and asked to come to a local police station before directly acting on the arrest warrant. We cannot say that it is full cooperation.” He said Noida Police was already informed about the case details and this was the second time the police team had gone for his arrest.
