Bombay High Court rejected Arnab Goswami's petition for interim bail in abetment to suicide case
Accused Arnab Goswami and two co-accused Feroze Shaikh and Neetish Sarda were arrested on November 4 in connection with the suicide of architect-interior designer Anvay Naik and his Mother in 2018 over alleged non-payment of dues by companies of the accused.
Accused Arnab was told he can go to a lower court for interim relief. In the Court, accused said that his arrest and the reopening of the two-year-old case was "illegal"
Ahead of the hearing in the High Court, accused Arnab moved the sessions court this afternoon, seeking bail, the lower court is likely to pass an order by Friday.
Arnab Goswami was arrested on November 4, after the police claimed they had found new evidence in the 2018 suicide case.
Accused was initially lodged in a local (Zilla Parishad) school which had been turned into a quarantine centre for prisoners but he was moved to the Taloja Jail on Sunday. A day after his arrest, High Court had refused him interim relief, saying it wanted to hear the matter ‘in detail’. On Saturday, the high court had said: "We can't pass any order today. Meanwhile, we will clarify that pendency of the petition will not bar the petitioner from approaching the Sessions Court for bail and if such an application is filed, it should be decided within four days."
