Controversial journalist and editor in chief of Republic TV Arnab Goswami had been arrested by Mumbai Police earlier today morning. It has been said that Arnab Goswami was arrested in connection with a 2018 abetment to suicide case.

It has been said that Arnab Goswami will be taken to Raigad for further enquiry in connection with this case. Earlier today morning, more than a dozen officers of the Mumbai Police reached Arnab's residence to arrest him.

Maharashtra CID has detained Arnab Goswami in connection with the death of interior designer Anvay Naik and his mother Kumud Naik in 2018. In 2018, 53-year-old Anvay Naik and his mother Kumud Naik died by suicide with a suicide note written by Anvay mentioning that Goswami and two others had not paid him Rs 5.40 crore which affected him financially. Alibaug police had filed a case of abetment to suicide in 2018 but it was closed in 2019. However in May 2020, Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh announced a new CID investigation into the case following Adnya Naik's (daughter of Avnay Naik) complaint that Alibaug police had not investigated non-payment of dues from Arnab Goswami’s Republic Tv.
