Mumbai: Republic TV editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami on Wednesday approached a sessions court here seeking pre-arrest bail in a case registered against him by Mumbai Police for allegedly assaulting a woman police officer.
Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court granted him interim bail in a case of alleged abetment to suicide of interior designer Anvay Naik in 2018.
Goswami is lodged at Taloja prison in Navi Mumbai following his arrest in the suicide case on November 4.
Last week, an FIR was registered against him at N M Joshi Marg police station in central Mumbai for allegedly assaulting a woman police officer when the police team went to his house to arrest him on November 4.
Goswami’s plea seeking anticipatory bail is likely to be heard by additional sessions judge P B Jadhav on Thursday, court sources said.
He has been booked under IPC sections 353 (assault to deter public servant from discharge of his duty), 504 (intentional insult to provoke breach of peace) and 506 (criminal intimidation) and under the Damage to Public Property Act in this case.

SS is playing BJP’s harassment game. And why not ? If Arnob gets bail on one case, bring another for assaulting policewoman. Keep investigating. Look at his funding. Re-open Lohia case.
Quite funny why a most disgraced Safron hindutva andh Bhakat, false propagandist got bail, while thousands innocents are rotting in jails since 10-20 years. Arnab the Chudi Party falsehood story generator is Godi Gpori Media chief conspirator against secular forcres
U are taking it too far…Arnab is a hero for many of us…so stop your barrage of attacks and save it for Bihar poll debacle of khangress and urlot save some face.
