Republic TV boss Arnab Goswami sent to 14-day judicial custody

Republic TV editor Arnab Goswami was sent to 14-day judicial custody by a the Alibaug court on Wednesday night. Earlier in the day, the Mumbai Police had arrested Arnab for allegedly abetting the suicide of a 53-year-old interior designer over alleged non-payment of dues.

After Arnab’s arrest from Mumbai, he was taken to Alibaug and produced before a court there. As per media reports, he also underwent a medical test.

According to reports, Arnab has already applied for bail and his plea will be heard by the Alibaug court on Thursday.

Arnab’s latest trouble at least goes back to May, when Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh had announced a re-investigation after a fresh complaint by Adnya Naik, daughter of the architect Anvay Naik.
