Earlier this morning, Mumbai police arrested Arnab Goswami for allegedly abetting suicide of a 53-year-old interior designer in 2018. A team of Alibaug police picked up Goswami from his Lower Parel house in the morning.  As per a PTI report, the architect and his mother had in 2018 committed suicide over alleged non-payment of dues by Republic TV which is owned by Arnab, police said. In May this year, the Maha Vikas Aghadi government in Maharashtra announced a fresh probe in the case. The MVA government comprises the Shiv Sena, NCP, and Congress.
