Republic TV Editor Arnab Goswami shows marks on his forearm and said he was assaulted. "Policemen surrounded me, held me by the scruff of my neck, pushed me. I'm here without shoes... I've been assaulted."

Police on Wednesday arrested Arnab Goswami for allegedly abetting the suicide of a 53-year-old interior designer, a police official said. The official said a team of Alibaug police picked up Goswami from his residence in Mumbai.

Goswami, who was seen being pushed into the police van, claimed he was assaulted by police at his home, while being taken away.

In 2018, an architect and his mother committed suicide over alleged non-payment of dues by Goswamis Republic TV, the official said. In May this year, Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh had announced that a re-investigation has been ordered on a fresh complaint by Adnya Naik, daughter of the architect Anvay Naik.
