Man Held for Attacking Two On-Duty Cops at Vadodara Court

Vadodara: A man allegedly assaulted two police personnel on duty at the Diwalipura Court in Vadodara after being asked to maintain decorum in the courtroom. The accused, identified as Gaurang Patel, allegedly slapped and punched a constable before attacking an assistant sub-inspector who tried to stop him from fleeing. The Akota police have arrested Patel and initiated legal proceedings against him.

According to the police, Constable Nitin Shah was on court-watch duty in Room No. A/33 when he noticed Patel sitting on a chair with his feet propped up. When Shah asked him to sit properly and maintain courtroom decorum, Patel allegedly became aggressive and entered into an argument with the constable.

Patel allegedly punched Shah on the face and ears and scratched him with his fingernails. He also threatened to kill the constable after he left the court premises.

After the assault, Patel allegedly attempted to flee. Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Manojbhai intercepted him near Gate No. 5 of the court premises. As the ASI was about to alert the police control room, Patel allegedly punched him on the forehead and near the eye, leaving him bleeding.

The injured ASI was taken to a hospital, where he required two stitches. During the subsequent investigation, the accused was identified as Gaurang Patel, who reportedly holds Canadian permanent residency (PR). The Akota police subsequently arrested him and began further legal proceedings. DeshGujarat
