Mumbai Police arrested Republic TV Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami from his house in connection with the death of interior designer Anvay Naik and his mother Kumud Naik in Alibaug in 2018.
It is alleged that Arnab Goswami and two others owed him Rs 5.4 crore and had refused to pay it back to Naik, a 53-year-old interior designer, and his mother Kumud Naik , forcing him to take the extreme step.
In May this year the Maharashtra government ordered a fresh investigation into the case against Goswami and two others by the state Criminal Investigation Department.
Anil Deshmukh Maharashtra Home Minister tweeted that a fresh probe was ordered after Naik’s daughter Adnya approached him regarding the case. “Adnya Naik had complained to me that Alibaug Police had not investigated non-payment of dues from Arnab Goswami’s Republic, which drove her entrepreneur father and grandmom to suicide in May 2018,” he tweeted. “I’ve ordered a CID re-investigation of the case.”
