He further slammed Congress stating that their mindset of Emergency still exists.

Earlier on Wednesday, Mumbai Police reached Editor-In-Chief Arnab Goswami's residence, barged into his room before arresting him in connection with the suicide of interior designer Anvay Naik and his mother Kumud Naik in 2018. The arrest has reverberated across the country and is being strongly condemned by BJP leaders.
In the past, back in 2018, Anvay Naik, who was found dead at the first floor of his farmhouse at Kavir Village in Alibaug had left an alleged suicide note accusing Arnab Goswami. However, the case was closed and was only reopened after Naik’s daughter met the DIG and produced more evidence. This led to the DIG initiating an enquiry against police inspector Suresh Warade, who had handled the case, for closing it ‘without investigating thoroughly’.
