# Bombay High Court questions reopening of Arnab Goswami case 2026-08-15T04:05:54+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Bombay High Court on Friday questioned the Maharashtra government’s power to reopen a closed case against Republic TV Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami. Justice Milind Jadhav said legal proceedings should not become a “proxy kind of war” and asked when the State can reopen an investigation. The court noted that a closure report had been filed before the case was reopened in 2020. Goswami’s lawyer alleged political vendetta by the then Maha Vikas Aghadi government, while the prosecution placed the reopening before the court. The plea concerns a 2018 FIR alleging abetment of suicide by interior designer Anvay Naik. The matter is likely to be heard next on September 4. ## Coverage - barandbench.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
