Unlike the Kangaroo Court he runs, I believe Arnab Goswami deserves a fair trial and the Mumbai Police needs to prove these charges in a court of law not in a press conference. The weight of evidence is what matters most. Your view or bias doesn’t matter. What matters is proof.

The quoted story actually proves no trespass happened. The verbal altercation happened at the gate. The reporter was picked up by police from at least 20-kms from the CM residence, and not given access to legal advice. Matter is in court.
