The Maharashtra government on Tuesday ordered reinvestigation by the CID into the suicide of a 53-year-old interior designer and his mother.
"Anvay Naik’s daughter had complained to me that Alibaug Police had not investigated non-payment of dues from Arnab Goswami's Republic TV which drove her entrepreneur father & grandmom to suicide in May 2018," Deshmukh tweeted.
"I've ordered a CID re-investigation of the case," the minister said in his tweet.
According to reports, businessman Anvay Naik, the MDC of Concorde Designs Pvt Limited had purportedly drafted a letter saying he was forced to take this extreme step as three persons failed to repay Rs 5.40 crore. One of them is Arnab Goswami.
However, the channel denied the allegation and called this "a false and malicious campaign with false statements and innuendos made against the company by exploiting the tragic event".
