When the meeting was going on, police officials entered the meeting room but when lawyers objected to the arrest of Bains from the complex, police covered all exit points of the court. When Bains along with his supporters came out, he was arrested.
LIP workers tried to stop the police vehicle in which Bains was taken from the court complex but after a few minutes of protest, the police managed to take the MLA along.
A case under Sections 307, 427, 148, 149, 506, and 188 of the IPC, Section 51 of the Disaster Management Act, Section 3 of the Epidemic Disease Act, and Section 127 of the Representation of People's Act was registered against Bains and 33 others.
