BJP MLA Ram Kadam on Tuesday met Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh to express his outrage over the arrest of Republic Media Network’s Editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami and asked him to take cognizance of the Mumbai Police's aggressive actions in the case.
In the letter, the BJP MLA has asked the Maharashtra Home Minister to launch an inquiry into the matter. He also asked him to investigate the 'police brutality' that was openly displayed during Arnab's arrest followed by Republic TV's distribution head Ghanshyam Singh’s arrest.
Ram Kadam was detained by the Mumbai Police on Tuesday morning while he was marching from Hutatma Chowk to the Mantralaya. Talking about this to media, Kadam said, "In Maharashtra, there is Raavan Raj. We were marching from Hutatma Chowk to Maharashtra Home Minister's office over the emergency that has been unleashed in Maharashtra. We were doing everything peacefully but we were stopped, shoved in police vans by Mumbai Police and taken."
The BJP MLA had also visited the Taloja Jail on Monday where Goswami is being held. He was shifted to jail from a prison quarantine centre on Sunday after he was accused of using a mobile phone, which was seized during his arrest last week. It is alleged that Goswami used his phone to post on social media.
On Tuesday, Goswami knocked the doors of Supreme Court a day after Bombay High Court denied an interim bail in relation to a case concerning the suicide of interior designer Anvay Naik in 2018.
