Arnab Goswami was pulled out by hair and assaulted, before being dragged out of his house by over 10 police officials on Wednesday. Visuals even captured him being pushed into a van, being led in a multi-vehicle cavalcade.  

"They physically assaulted me. They did not allow me to meet my in-laws. They beat up my son," Arnab Goswami said from the van.

He is being taken to the Raigad Police Station.
