Anvay Naik suicide case: Raigad crime branch issues summons to Republic media CFO

Republic Media Network Chief Financial Officer (CFO) S Sundaram has been issued summons by the Raigad police in connection to the 2018 suicide of interior decorator Anvay Naik and his mother. Republic TV editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami, along with co-accused Feroz Shaikh and Nitesh Sarda, were granted interim bail in the case by the Supreme Court on Wednesday. While the three accused were sent to judicial custody, the court had allowed a team from the Raigad police crime branch to interrogate them for three hours in Taloja Central Jail when they were lodged there.

A crime branch officer said that during questioning, Goswami had said that making payments on behalf of the company was the job of the CFO. “Accordingly, we have issued summons to him and he should appear before us in the coming days,” the officer added.
