Arnab's security caught attackers, who are now in custody of Mumbai police and are being questioned. y confessed to Arnab's security that y h been sent by Congress to teach Arnab a lesson. This comes after Arnab h questioned Congress president Sonia Gandhi in his debate mere hours earlier.
FIR that has been filed, however, has been egregiously watered down and has no mention of Congress and Youth Congress despite complaint copy which mentioned all details of Congress link, including ir confessions to Arnab's Mumbai Police security attache who is an undersigned in complaint, as also photos and official party designations accessed by Republic. Furrmore, filing of FIR h also taken considerable effort. It has been filed only under Sections 341 (Punishment for wrongful restraint) and 504 (Intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace) of IPC, not even assault.
Here is full complaint filed by Arnab:
