No flight risk, can’t tamper evidence: Supreme Court details why it granted bail to Arnab Goswami

The Supreme Court of Friday said journalist Arnab Goswami’s interim bail in the abetment to suicide case, which was granted to Goswami on November 11, shall be operative for another four weeks.

The bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and Indira Banerjee passed an order detailing the reasons why Goswami was granted bail on November 11 after he spent a week in judicial custody following his arrest in the abetment to suicide of architect Anvay Naik and his mother.

Justice Chandrachud said it could not be said appellants had abetted the suicide of the head of the architectural firm. “If the HC was carrying a prima facie evaluation, then it could not have seen that there was no nexus between FIR and Section 306 IPC,” Justice Chandrachud said.
