On Saturday, the High Court of Bombay reserved its order on a plea filed by Republic TV editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami challenging his arrest & seeking relief in connection with the 2018 abetment of suicide case.
A division bench of Justices SS Shinde & MS Karnik also granted Goswami the liberty to file a bail plea in a lower Court & directed the Court to decide on his bail appeal, if & when filed, within a period of 4 days.
Goswami & 2 others -- Feroz Shaikh & Sarda -- were on Wednesday sent to fourteen-day judicial custody by the Alibag District Magistrate Court in connection with Anvay Naik suicide case.
Earlier on Wednesday, Goswami was arrested in the death case of interior designer Anvay Naik, who allegedly died by suicide in Alibaug in May 2018. A suicide note purportedly written by Naik alleged that Goswami had not paid him his dues.
Goswami had alleged that he along with his mother-in-law, father-in-law, son, & wife have been physically assaulted. Mumbai Police entered Goswami's residence & allegedly physically assaulted his family members & him.

The suicide case, in which a closure report was filed in 2019, was reopened after Naik's wife Akshata approached a Court. In Sept 2020, Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh had ordered a re-investigation into the case after a fresh complaint by Naik's daughter.
