BJP MLA Ram Kadam after writing to Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray, met Governor Bhagat Singh Koshiyari and demanded suspension of 9 police personnel who assaulted Republic Media Network's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami. 

The BJP MLA met the Maharashtra Governor at 10:30 AM on Thursday. Arnab Goswami was arrested and physically assaulted by the Mumbai and Raigad Police on Wednesday morning. He also posted pictures of the meeting on his official twitter account and wrote,"Met Governor Bhagat Singh Koshiyari this morning and demanded suspension of 9 police personnel who assaulted Republic Media Network's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami and sought investigation of the matter."

On Wednesday Kadam wrote to Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray demanding the suspension of 9 police personnel who assaulted Republic Media Network's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami. In a letter addressed to Thackeray, Kadam said that the way in which the police personnel barged into Arnab's house and assaulted him is condemnable. While stressing that he has a lot of regard for the Maharashtra police, he lamented that 9 cops had misused their power.

1/1 In retaliation against the arrest of #ArnabGoswami & to protect the fourth pillar of our democracy, I will be holding a hunger strike outside Mantralaya tomorrow. I urge #MVA Govt to immediately withdraw all the cases against Arnab and his family. @AnilDeshmukhNCP@OfficeofUT
