Gujarat Aam Aadmi Party leader Gopal Italia was arrested on Monday by Surat Crime Branch for his alleged remarks on state Home minister Harsh Sanghavi.
Italia was later released on bail. He was arrested over his controversial comments on state Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi at a rally before the Gujarat election in November last year.
Speaking with the media, AAP National Jt Secy Gopal Italia said, "Since offences in the FIR were bailable, Crime Branch let me go. AAP showed its strength in the last election in Gujarat, which is considered BJP's stronghold. That is why they are scared..," he added.
The FIR filed by a BJP worker states that Italia had called the Home Minister as "Drugs Sanghavi", NDTV said.
