Mumbai: Arnab Goswami has petitioned the Bombay High Court challenging his ‘illegal arrest’ in a 2018 case of abetment of suicide of an interior designer, reported The New Indian Express (TNIE).
He has sought quashing of the FIR lodged against him by Alibaug police in Maharashtra. A division bench of Justices SS Shinde and MS Karnik will hear the plea on Thursday afternoon, the report added.
Goswami has also sought a stay in the investigation into the case and a direction to the police to release him immediately. The plea has also sought the FIR against him to be quashed.
It alleged that Goswami was assaulted by the police team that barged into his house on Wednesday. “He has been wrongly and illegally arrested in a motivated, false and closed case. This is another attempt of political witch-hunt and vendetta politics against the petitioner and his channel,” the petition said.
“The arrest was conducted in blatant violation of the fundamental rights to life and personal liberty of the petitioner (Goswami) and his dignity. The petitioner and his son were assaulted and dragged into the police van when Goswami was arrested,” it added.
