Arnab Goswami arrested
Republic TV editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami was arrested in connection with the 2018 abetment of suicide case.
Goswami and two others — Feroz Shaikh and Sarda — were on Wednesday sent to 14-day judicial custody by the Alibag district magistrate court in connection with Anvay Naik suicide case.
A suicide note purportedly written by Naik alleged that Goswami had not paid him his dues.
Goswami had alleged that he along with his mother-in-law, father-in-law, son, and wife have been physically assaulted. Mumbai Police entered Goswami’s residence and allegedly physically assaulted his family members and him.
The suicide case, in which a closure report was filed in 2019, was reopened after Naik’s wife Akshata approached a court. In September this year, Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh had ordered a re-investigation into the case after a fresh complaint by Naik’s daughter
