News Desk: Maharashtra police arrested Republic TV editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami and two others – Feroz Shaikh and Nitesh Sarda – on Wednesday morning in connection with an abetment to suicide case of a 53 year old interior designer and his mother in 2018. The suicide note written by Anvay Naik claimed that Goswami and two others owed him 5.4 crore and had refused to pay it back and it forced him to commit suicide.
Goswami claimed that he was assaulted and dragged by the Maha cops. He added that the cops even assaulted his mother-in-law, father-in-law, son and wife.
A senior police officer said “Arnab and his wife Samyabrata refused to open the door for nearly an hour despite us telling them that we have come to arrest him in the Alibaug case. We had deputed a policeman to video record the entire sequence of event to avoid any allegations”
Police said that they don’t need any arrest warrant in the IPC 306 abetment to suicide case. They explained the entire story that when Arnab opened the door, his wife started video recording and alleged that the police assaulted him. When police handed over them the notice for intimation of arrest, his wife tore the papers. Police team then forced Arnab in the police van and made a station diary entry at the NM Joshi Marg police station before handing him over to the Alibaug police.
