The Mumbai Police have filed a 1,914 pages of Chargesheet against Republic TV's Editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami and two others, a day after Goswami moved the Bombay High Court seeking a stay on the probe and filing of the chargesheet. Goswami was recently arrested along with Firoze Shaikh and Nitish Sarda in the 2018 abetment to suicide case.
The Suicide of Interior designer Anvay Naik along with his mother in 2018 is the reason of this case.Naik in his suicide note wrote that Goswami,Shaikh and Sarda owed him a sum of Rs 5.40 Crore which was still due.
The Chargesheet stated that Goswami and the two others had given contract work to Naik of their respective offices. "The deceased had done all the work order. The accused gave additional work which the deceased completed. Seeing the extra work it was necessary to make changes in the bill of quantity but the trio made him work extra and paid him less" said the Chargesheet.
The Chargesheet further read "The Accused did not pay money and kept delaying his payments.And due to all this,the clients from whom Naik had brought raw material started calling him for money. In a bid to recover his dues,Naik kept on meeting with the three accused,mailing them,texting them and calling them and requesting to pay his dues, but they delayed/failed which led to mental harassment which led Naik to take (the) extreme step."
According to reports from Police, there are around 65 witness who have recorded their statements under the section 164 of the Indian Penal Code before a magistrate which can be treated as evidence. Police have also made copies of contract of agreements between the Naik and the three, promissory notes,bank statements, email exchanges and WhatsApp texts.
