The Bombay High Court on Friday heard the interim bail plea of Republic TV editor Arnab Goswami in an abetment to suicide case dating back to 2018 and said the hearing will be continued on Saturday noon (November 7) at a special session.

Goswami hence will have to spend the third night in judicial custody for his alleged abetment to suicide of an interior designer Anvay Naik in 2018.

A division bench of Justices S S Shinde and M S Karnik said they would continue the hearing on Saturday because of lack of time.

"We will assemble for this matter specially tomorrow noon," the court said.

Goswami was arrested on Wednesday from his Mumbai home and taken to Alibaug. The court rejected his bail plea and remanded him to 14-day judicial custody on the very same day.

The case dates back to 2018 when Anvay Naik, a 53-year old interior designer, and his mother Kumud Naik committed suicide in May 2018 in Alibaug. A suicide note was found allegedly written by Anvay which stated that Goswami and and two other individuals, Feroz Shaikh and Niteish Sarda, had not paid him Rs 5.40 crore which led to his financial constraints.

A case of abetment to suicide was filed against Goswami in 2018 but was closed by Raigad police in 2019.
