The arrest of Khanchandani comes just a month after the Mumbai Police had arrested and assaulted Republic TV chief Arnab Goswami in another 2018 suicide case.
A bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and Indira Banerjee stated that the FIR by Maharashtra government does not establish the charges of abetment of suicide against Arnab Goswami.
Recently, OTV MD Jagi Mangat Panda's father had appealed to HM Amit Shah seeking protection from the excesses of Odisha police against his family and employees of OTV.
These protests against Maharashtra government over the non-payment of their rightful dues are not new. The Maharashtra government's reluctance to pay dues and salaries to their employees has now taken many lives in the state.
