Mumbai Police arrests Arnab Goswami: Nawab Malik questions BJP's outrage over Arnab's arrest

In the wake of Republic TV Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami's arrest in a suicide abetment case, Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Nawab Malik termed Goswami's arrest as "Part 2 of India's Most Wanted".

Nawab Malik termed Arnab Goswami's arrest as "Part 2 of India's Most Wanted" and recalled the action against a TV crime show anchor who was charged with killing his wife.

Suhaib Ilyasi, who had become well-known after hosting TV crime show 'India's Most Wanted' was charged with murdering his wife in March 2000. He was, however, acquitted by the Delhi High Court in October 2018.

"Once upon a time there was a show called India's Most Wanted & the Anchor highlighted murders & suicides, the same anchor was held responsible for his wife's murder," Minority Affairs Minister Nawab Malik tweeted without naming Suhaib Ilyasi.

In another tweet he wrote in Hindi,"The way the ministers of the Centre are coming forward openly in support of a suicide accused, should the country accept that BJP supporters will be forgiven for killing some one?"

"Here is Part 2 of India's Most Wanted, another anchor doing the same is now responsible for suicide #ArnabArrested," he added on the micro-blogging site.

The journalist has been arrested in the death case of interior designer Anvay Naik, who allegedly died by suicide in Alibaug in May 2018. A suicide note purportedly written by Naik alleged that Goswami had not paid him his dues. Later, Goswami was also named in the FIR of Naik's death case.

Law is taking its course. Some journalists were crying foul about the suicide of an actor but the same person is also responsible for one suicide. These people think that they can distract police by indulging in propaganda - Hon. @nawabmalikncp Saheb.https://t.co/gCjy7JImBo

जिस तरह से केंद्र के मंत्री, एक आत्महत्या के आरोपी के बचाओ में खुल कर सामने आ रहे हैं, क्या देश यह मान ले बीजेपी समर्थकों को देश में सात खून माफ है। #ArnabGoswamiArrested
