Arnab Goswami.
Republic TV managing director and Editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami was arrested by Mumbai Police from his residence earlier today regarding an abetment of suicide case from 2018. The police personnel allegedly physically assaulted Goswami and misbehaved with his family members.
The case regarding which Goswami was detained was closed earlier. However, it has been reopened now and he was arrested under the section 306 of Indian Penal Code (IPC). This incident has evoked sharp responses from top political figures like Amit Shah, JP Nadda, EAM Dr S Jaishankar amongst others from the BJP.
Republic TV and Mumbai police have been at loggerheads since the last few months over multiple issues. Goswami was questioned for long hours during the thick of the nationwide lockdown over his verbal attacks on Sonia Gandhi on the mob-lynching of sadhus in Palghar.
