The Mumbai Police has terminated the chapter proceedings initiated against Republic TV editor Arnab Goswami as the enquiry against him was not completed within the stipulated six-month window.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Sudhir Jambavdekar (Worli Division) passed the order, on Saturday, following Goswami s application under section 116(6) of the Criminal Procedure Code.
On October 10, 2020, the police issued a show-cause notice to Goswami, asking him why a chapter proceeding under section 108 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) should not be initiated against him.
The notice referred to Goswami s objectionable coverage of two incidents, on Republic TV – the lynching of sadhus at Palghar and the gathering of migrants outside Bandra station during the lockdown.
