In the latest development, Republic Media Network's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami was on Sunday morning moved from the quarantine centre in Alibag in which he has been in judicial custody for 4 nights and is being taken to Taloja jail in a police van with black screens on its windows to prevent him from being seen. 'Taloja Taloja Taloja,' Arnab is clearly heard shouting from inside the van. After the Alibag CJM on Wednesday evening had sent Arnab to 14 days judicial custody, the Bombay HC on Saturday, reserved the order in the plea challenging Arnab's arrest following which it was announced that the verdict will be pronounced at 3 pm on Monday. Shifting Arnab Goswami to Taloja jail wasn't intimated to Arnab Goswami's lawyers. #IndiaWithArnab | Arnab Goswami clearly audible from behind black screens covering police van's windows to prevent him from being seen; After court sent him to judicial custody, now being taken to Taloja jail; Tune in for #LIVE & #BREAKING updates here - https://t.co/rGQJsiKgt2 pic.twitter.com/4mBfOdBvwa — Republic (@republic) November 8, 2020 READ | Bombay HC Reserves Order On Plea Against Illegal Arrest; Arnab Continues To Be In Custody Bombay High Court reserves its order Senior Advocate Harish Salve made strong arguments representing Arnab Goswami once again, as the Bombay High Court on Saturday reserved its order in Republic Media Network's Editor-in-Chief's plea against his arrest. The two-judge bench comprising of Justices S S Shinde and M S Karnik ordered that bail can be sought by Arnab under Section 439 from the sessions court. The court also ordered that the sessions court must decide within four days if approached for bail. The Bombay High Court would pronounce its order as soon as possible, Justice Shinde stated. It was later announced that the order would be pronounced at 3 pm on Monday. Previously, on Friday, arguing for Arnab's release, senior advocate Harish Salve had stated that no permission had been taken by the police for reopening the 2018 Anvay Naik abetment of suicide case in which Arnab has been arrested, as per the order of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, adding 'the arrest is illegal'. Critically, while pronouncing her order in the remand hearing, the CJM too observed that there is no chain showing nexus between the suicide and the role of the accused i.e. Arnab.

The police personnel not only stopped Arnab from handing over medicines to his parents-in-law but also physically assaulted him and his son, even refusing to let him wear his shoes. Arnab was neither served prior summons nor allowed access to his legal team. Mumbai police then handed him over to Raigad police, which took him to Alibag Police Station, where his lawyer informed that Arnab had suffered an injury on his left hand after being heckled by the police. As per the lawyer, he was pulled by his belt and was beaten on the back of his spine. After a 5-hour long remand hearing, however, the Chief Judicial Magistrate rejected granting custody to the Raigad police and Arnab was remanded to 14 days of judicial custody.
