Arnab Goswami shifted to Taloja central prison

Republic Media Network’s editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami has been shifted from Alibaug to Taloja central prison in Raigad district.

The BJP’s Maharashtra unit has protested against the move of the police and the Maha Vikas Aghadi government.

On 4 November, Goswami (47), a popular TV anchor-editor, was arrested in a 2018 abetment to suicide case.

A Magistrate’s court remanded him to judicial custody till 18 November – even as it rejected the demand of police custody for the journalist.

While in judicial custody, he was lodged at a makeshift quarantine centre in Alibaug town.

“My life is under threat….they did not allow me to speak to my lawyers….my life is in danger…I was assaulted in jail by the jailer…,” he said as he was taken in a jail van.
