WEB TV: ٖٖٖFamous for shouting and screaming in his TV show, hysteric Indian anchor Arnab Goswami has been detained by Raigad police today in a two-year-old suicide case in which investigations were reopened recently.
He has been detained in connection with abetment to suicide case filed against him and two others in 2018.
According to the Indian Express, quoting Sanjay Mohite, IG Konkan Range, Arnab Goswami has been taken to Raigad, where will be interrogated by the investigating officer.
According to the NDTV, Goswami said that he was manhandled and assaulted by the police at his Mumbai home before being pushed into their van.
In 2018, an architect and his mother committed suicide over alleged non-payment of dues by Goswami’s Republic TV, the official said.
Police said Republic channel aired the news that would incite disaffection among police personnel against Commissioner of Police Param Bir Singh. The channel, police said, claimed Mumbai police personnel were rebelling against Param Bir Singh, and that his orders were not acceptable to them.
This is the fourth case against Republic channel. Its editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami is facing two FIRs, registered at Pydhonie and NM Joshi Marg police stations, for allegedly inciting communal tension.
A case relating to alleged fudging of TRPs is being probed by the Mumbai Crime Branch while chapter proceedings against Goswami have been initiated separately by police.
