Video grab of Arnab being whisked off in a police van

The Editors' Guild of India sends out a statement condemning the arrest of Arnab Goswami, editor-in-chief of Republic TV. "The Guild calls upon Maharashtra CM to ensure that Goswami is treated fairly and state power is not used against critical reporting by media."

A team of Alibaug Police picked up Goswami from his residence Mumbai. Goswami, who was seen being pushed into the police van, claimed that he was assaulted by police at his home, while being taken away.

Goswami has been arrested in a two-year-old suicide case in which investigations were reopened recently, the Mumbai police said today. He was arrested for allegedly abetting the suicide of a 53-year-old interior designer, Anvay Naik, and his mother, in 2018.
