On July 3, Ellisbridge police lodged two FIRs and arrested five Congress workers, who are currently under remand. One FIR was registered by the police against approximately 450 workers from both parties, while another was filed against Congress workers based on a complaint by the Ahmedabad youth wing of the BJP.
