2018 suicide case: SC grants interim bail to Republic TV editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday granted interim bail to Republic TV editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami in connection with the 2018 abetment to a suicide case of an architect and his mother.  

He was arrested last week.

The senior journalist has been arrested for allegedly abetting the suicide of a 53-year old interior designer Anvay Naik and his mother couple of years ago in Maharashtra, a state ruled by an opposition party.

Interestingly, Goswami has been having a bitter tussle with the Maharashtra government and police since the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

Republic TV had questioned the handling of Rajput's death, which was later cleared of having a foul play by All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS).

The English news channel had a faceoff with Mumbai Police after Goswami's channel was alleged to have fudged television ratings.

Following the arrest in connection with the two-year-old case, several Union Ministers and ruling BJP leaders had blasted the Shiv Sena-Nationalist Congress Party-Congress government in Maharashtra and called out the ruling dispensation for allegedly creating an emergency-like situation in the state.
