Suicide abetment: HC allows Arnab to challenge chargesheet

December 16, 2020 18:03

The Bombay High Court on Wednesday allowed journalist Arnab Goswami to challenge the chargesheet filed in the 2018 abetment of suicide case against him after it was informed that a magistrates court in Raigad district has taken cognizance of the document.

Goswami's counsel Aabad Ponda told the HC that the magistrates court at Alibag in the adjoining district earlier in the day took cognizance of the chargesheet filed by the police against his client and two others in the suicide case of an interior designer.

Ponda then sought time from the high court to amend the petition filed by the Republic TV Editor-in-Chief against the FIR registered by the Alibag police in the more than two-year-old case case to also challenge the chargesheet. -- PTI
