MHRC tells SP Raigad to submit magistrate's reopening order in shut case of Arnab's arrest
06-November-2020

The Maharashtra State Human Rights Commission (MHRC) on Friday has asked for the certified magistrate's copy of the reopening of the Anvay Naik case that was earlier closed in 2019 - in which Republic media Network's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami has been arrested. The MHRC had summoned SP Raigad at the commission's office to show cause regarding the arrest of Republic Media Network's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami and present the entire material records before the commission.

The action by the MHRC comes after Advocate Aditya Mishra filed a petition before the Commission against Arnab Goswami's forceful arrest. The matter has now been referred to Tuesday.

On Friday, speaking to Republic TV after the big development, Advocate Mishra said, "As on today because of short notice, the concerned police wanted adjournment but considering the seriousness of the matter, the court has referred it to Tuesday. Let us see what report he files, when the issue is clear if they got an order or not to reopen the case, then I will be able to state further."
