Several Union Ministers and prominent personalities took to Twitter to express their solidarity with Arnab Goswami and condemn Maharashtra government's brazen assault on the freedom of the press
Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday condemned the assault and subsequent arrest of Arnab Goswami by Mumbai Police in a 2018 abetment to suicide case which has been closed by court.
The team of cyber experts with Mumbai Police has marked approximately 1.5 lakh Twitter accounts during the technical investigation, most of them were allegedly sharing 'defamatory content' against the Maha government.
In a shocking display of might of state, the Mumbai Police not only assaulted and dragged Republic TV chief Arnab Goswami before making the arrest but also physically assaulted his minor son and other family members.
Arnab Goswami challenged, "If I am indeed one of Mumbai's biggest hawala operators, and if I am, as Param Bir Singh claims, a hawala kingpin, he should place me under arrest immediately."
