Mumbai: Congress mounts pressure for Arnab Goswami’s arrest

MUMBAI: Both Mumbai Congress and State Congress on Wednesday mounted pressure on the Mumbai police led by Parambir Singh to press their demand for immediate arrest of Republic TV editor Arnab Goswami for blatant violation of the official secrets act.
Mumbai Congress president Bhai Jagtap and working president Charan Singh Sapra called on Singh while Congress activists spoke to senior inspectors of all the 94 police stations in the city to press for their demand.

Sapra said the Congress delegation brought it to the notice of Singh that Goswami has committed offences, which attract the provisions of the official secrets act, National Security Act and Prevention of Unlawful activists act.

“Parambir Singh assured that he will legal examine the entire case and allegations of the Congress and then decide the course of action. We are happy with his assurance and hope that he will act expeditiously,’’ said Sapra.
