Goswami arrest: Uddhav Thackeray govt never acted vindictively, says Raut

In the wake of Republic TV Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami’s arrest in a suicide abetment case, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Wednesday said the MVA government has never acted vindictively against anyone since it came to power last year.

He also claimed that the state government or any political party had nothing to do with the arrest.

Goswami was arrested in Mumbai by Raigad police on Wednesday morning for allegedly abetting suicide of a 53- year-old interior designer in 2018.

“Proper procedure of law is followed in Maharashtra. Police can take action against anyone if they have evidence. The state government hasn’t acted out of revenge,” Raut told reporters when asked about Goswami’s arrest.
