Sanjay Raut on Arnab Goswami's arrest : No injustice will be meted out to anyone

On Wednesday (November 4) morning, Arnab Goswami was arrested by Mumbai Police. The arrest has been in connection with the death of interior designer Anvay Naik and his mother Kumud Naik in Alibaug in 2018. Goswami is currently in judicial custody. However, his arrest has sparked controversy and many have openly condemned the arrest. Union Home Minister, Amit Shah is among the people who have criticised the arrest.

Talking to media about the arrest, Sanjay Raut on Thursday said that BJP is following Arnab Goswami because he is a party worker. They are always on the side of their party. He said, "If someone is arrested under Section 306 (abetment to suicide) and 307 (attempt to murder) of IPC and BJP wants to protest over it, they may do it as everyone has that right in a democracy. BJP can protest if they believe he is their party worker, it can be their national program (protest). But I just have one request to the Centre's Cabinet members or senior BJP leaders in Maharashtra to meet Naik's family, there is a widow and a daughter too. They should meet and understand the circumstances they faced in the past two years".

Furthermore, he said, Arnab Goswami is not being prosecuted as a journalist. They did not pay anyone their dues. His family was devastated, and he committed suicide. Sanjay Raut also said that despite the fact that there was no such suicide note in the Sushant Singh case, the role of the BJP at the state and centre was different and now the BJP is playing a different role.

He even said that, "Mumbai police is not playing a game of puppets. They are free to investigate and they are doing so, no injustice will be meted out to anyone. Maharashtra is the land of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Dr BR Ambedkar, the law was written here."
