Judge told Arnab Goswami to ‘maintain decorum’

The chief magistrate of the Alibaug court on Wednesday evening told Republic TV editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami to maintain decorum, “behave like an accused” and not interrupt the proceedings.

Goswami was produced before the Alibaug chief magistrate Sunaina Pingale in the evening on Wednesday and was eventually ordered, at around 11.30 pm, to stay in judicial custody for 14 days, that is, till November 18.

Advocate Vilas Naik, representing the kin of the deceased interior designer Anvay Naik, said, “Goswami attempted to climb the dais in front of the magistrate when she asked to stand beyond the plastic partition (put up for Covid prevention) in order to see his injury marks more clearly.” The magistrate warned him against climbing on to the dais.
