There’s no relief for Republic Media Network and the Editor-in-chief of Republic TV as the members of the crime branch of Mumbai Police reportedly traveled to Delhi to arrest Arnab Goswami in the alleged TRP scam case. The big news was shared by Republic TV advocate Abad Ponda during the hearing in the Bombay High Court.

“I am making a solemn statement that the Maharashtra Police has reached Delhi to arrest Arnab Goswami. I have received a message at 2:30 PM. It is there on my phone,” Ponda said. Republic Network’s CEO Vikas Khanchandani was also arrested on Sunday by the Mumbai Police, just a day ahead of the anticipatory bail hearing.

What’s The Alleged TRP Scam?

On 8th October, Param Bir Singh, Mumbai Police Commissioner, said in a press conference that several channels including Republic have violated rules and indulged in wrong ways to inflate their TRPs.

Republic TV has been in the midst of the controversy and has been questioned about their reporting on the Palghar lynching case and Sushant Singh Rajput’s suicide case as they have been targeting the Maharashtra Government for both the cases.

The Trend #StopIllegalArrestOfArnab

Arnab’s followers have lost their cool and have started to trend #StopIllegalArrestOfArnab and are bashing the government for taking such actions without any concrete proof. 

I feel really sorry for the people of Maharashtra, as democracy has ended there. They can't tweet freely, share cartoons, take a stand & absolutely no Freedom of Expression!!
And absolute inaction of centre is making that worse. #StopillegalArrestOfArnab#Justice4SSRDec16

“Maharashtra House will not take cognizance of or reply to any notice sent by the High Court or the Supreme Court in Arnab Goswami case.”

This arrogance, this absolute disregard of the Courts is SHOCKING. https://t.co/5GEsyFHyQj
