In a shocking attack on the Republic Media Network, Mumbai Police has illegally assaulted and detained editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami and is taking him to the Raigad Police Station in a case that was closed and has nothing to do with any ongoing probe. Senior Executive Editor Samyabrata Ray Goswami said that Police manhandled Arnab Goswami and the investigating officer threatened Arnab, stating “I am capable of anything.”

Twitter users asked if we were living in a ‘democratic country’ and asked Mumbai Police to ‘have shame’ and called it ‘Gunda raj.’ They expressed that it was a ‘death of democracy’ and sought the resignation of Mumbai Police commissioner Param Bir Singh. They also tagged the Prime Minister & Home Minister to raise their voice for action.

I will continue to stand with #ArnabGoswami because he is a good man and a friend. I do not believe in allegations leveled at him. I know him to be one of high integrity. It is a long battle but we will hold steadfast. I do not need a hashtag to extend my support to Arnab.

Shades of the Emergency!
The arrest of Arnab Goswami is an attack on the freedom of press. Those who really believe in this freedom must speak up!— Dr. S. Jaishankar (@DrSJaishankar) November 4, 2020
Sachin Waze who is an Encounter Specalist was sent to arrest #ArnabGoswami in a 2 year old 306 IPC case.
Armed guards with AK 47 and semi automatic weapons were sent to arrest Arnab.
Imagine what have happened with Sadhvi Pragya & others by the Khakhi Goon Parambir.

This comes just a day after the Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh in his latest fake news plant called Arnab ‘the biggest hawala’ operator in the city of Mumbai.
