The Chief editor of Republic TV, Arnab Goswami was on Sunday shifted to Taloja Jail in Maharashtra’s Raigad district from a COVID-19 quarantine centre in Alibaug, the Mahrashtra Police has said.
Arnab was shifted to the Taloja Jail after he was allegedly found using a mobile phone while in judicial custody at a quarantine centre designated as COVID-19 centre for Alibaug prison in Raigad district.
It was alleged that he was active on social media using somebody’s mobile phone after his personal mobile phone was seized by police when he was taken into custody on 4 November.
Meanwhile, in a statement, Samyabrata Ray Goswami, a senior executive editor of Republic TV and Arnab Goswami’s wife, said he has been framed on fake charges.
The Bombay High Court will on Monday pronounce its order on the interim bail application filed by Goswami and the two others in connection with the abetment of a suicide case.
