Editor-in-Chief of Republic Media Network Arnab Goswami was arrested on Wednesday morning by Mumbai police from his Mumbai residence for allegedly abetting the suicide of interior designer Anvay Naik and his mother Kumud Naik in 2018.

The Editors guild of India in a press statement said that it was “shocked to learn the arrest of Arnab Goswami, Editor-in-Chief of Republic TV”. It said that the forum “condemn the sudden arrest and find it extremely distressing”. The forum called upon the Chief Minister of Maharashtra for fair treatment of Arnab Goswami, and that the “state power is not used against the critical reporting by the media”, it said.

Here is how Twitter is reacting to Arnab Goswami’s arrest.

Congress and its allies have shamed democracy once again.

Blatant misuse of state power against Republic TV & Arnab Goswami is an attack on individual freedom and the 4th pillar of democracy.

It reminds us of the Emergency. This attack on free press must be and WILL BE OPPOSED.

Arnab’s arrest is wrong. What is intriguing though is the list of senior ministers speaking up for him. Why have they never spoken when other journalists have been arrested on flimsy grounds by BJP chief ministers? What does this tell us?

Shades of the Emergency!
The arrest of Arnab Goswami is an attack on the freedom of press. Those who really believe in this freedom must speak up!

Every person who believes in a free press and freedom of expression is furious at the Maharashtra Government’s bullying and harassment of Arnab Goswami. This is yet another instance of Sonia and Rahul Gandhi-directed antic of silencing those who disagree with them. Shameful!
