The case for which Arnab Goswami was arrested concerns the death of Anvay Naik, managing director of Concorde Designs Private Limited, in 2018. A suicide note by Naik accused Goswami and two others – Feroz Shaikh and Neetish Sarda – of not paying dues worth Rs 5.40 crore. Naik and his mother Kumud Naik were found dead in their home in Kavir village of Alibaug, Scroll reported.

What is happening to my case? When will justice be granted to our family? WHY STILL THERE IS NO ACTION?"
