Palghar Lynching: Maharashtra govt moves Supreme Court alleging browbeating by Arnab Goswami

The Maharashtra government has approached the Supreme Court to take a “serious cognisance” of endeavour made by Republic TV’s Editor in Chief Arnab Goswami to interfere with the investigation and browbeat police officers.

Goswami had faced over 100 FIRs across the country after he on April 21 questioned Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s silence in lynching of two Hindu seers and their driver in Palghar on April 16.

In an application, the state government asked the court to “insulate the investigating agency from any pressure, threat or coercion” from Goswami and to enable it to carry out its lawful obligation in a fair and transparent manner.
