Team News Riveting
Mumbai, November 8
Editor-in-Chief of Republic TV Arnab Goswami alleged that his life was under threat and that cops were not allowing him to speak to his lawyers.
Arnab momentarily managed to speak from a police van while being taken to Taloja Jail Sunday alleging that he was pushed and assaulted this morning.
“My life is under threat, I am not being allowed to speak to my lawyers, I was pushed and assaulted this morning…they said we will not let you speak to your lawyers, please tell the people of the country my life is under threat”, Arnab told Republic TV before the cops cut him off by covering the vehicle’s windows.
Arnab was arrested a few days ago in connection with a 2018 abetment to suicide case that the Maharashtra Police recently reopened. Arnab and his supporters claimed it was being done out of vendetta by the Shiv Sena led Maharashtra government.
It was earlier reported that Arnab in his Bombay High Court petition had alleged that following his arrest serious injuries were inflicted on his spinal cord and hands. He additionally claimed that cops had beaten him using shoes and forced him to drink a liquid by cops which choked him.
