Panaji: Goa Police on Thursday arrested actor Gaurav Bakshi for allegedly restraining the movement of state Animal Husbandry minister Nilkant Halarnkar by blocking his car, PTI reported.
In his counter-complaint, Bakshi claimed that it was the minister’s car which had blocked his way.
The actor, who has acted in web series such as ‘Bombay Begums’ and ‘Naxalbari’ besides a few films, was arrested after Halarnkar’s personal security officer (PSO) filed a complaint at Colvale police station in North Goa, a senior police official said.
Bakshi, who runs a startup in Goa, has been booked under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections related to obstructing public servant and wilful restraint.
The minister told reporters that the incident took place when he was leaving in his car after attending a function at Revora panchayat hall in North Goa on Wednesday.
Halarnkar alleged that Bakshi’s car blocked his path, and the actor threatened his PSO when asked to move his vehicle.
Bakshi released a video stating that he had filed a complaint against the minister at the local police station.
Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said earlier in the day the government had taken cognisance of the incident, and that Bakshi would be arrested.
