    • Photo Of Arnab Goswami Tortured By Mumbai Police? Not Really

      A photo claiming Arnab Goswami was hung upside down and kicked and beaten by the Mumbai police after his arrest, is false. BOOM found that the photo is from Deoria in Uttar Pradesh when local police personnel brutally beat up and tortured a man for allegedly stealing a mobile phone.

      Arnab Goswami, owner and editor-in-chief of Republic TV was taken into custody by Maharashtra police officials on Wednesday in connection to a two-year-old alleged abetment to suicide case. The case is from 2018 when interior designer Anvay Naik and his mother Kumud Naik were found dead in their Alibagh, Raigad house with a suicide note allgeing that they took the extreme step after Goswami failed to pay them pending dues for work done. The Raigad police which had in 2018, closed the case was asked to reopen the case in May 2019, by Home Minister Anil Deshmukh after the NCP-Congress-Shiv Sena alliance formed a government in Maharashtra.

      Goswami was arrested along with two others identified as Feroz Sheikh and Niteesh Sarda - also named in the suicide note left by Anvay Naik. Naik in his note detailed the money owed by each firm - Republic TV owed him Rs 83 lakh and the other two firms owed him Rs 4 crore and Rs 55 lakh respectively.
