“We are demanding the immediate arrest of Goswami for violation of Official Secrets Act and treason. Goswami deliberately used confidential information to enhance his channel’s TRP,’’ Sapra said.
Sapra said after meeting the police chief, senior Congress leaders will visit police stations in Mumbai to press for their demand for Goswami’s arrest. “We will lodge complaints against Goswami and expect that on the basis of our complaints criminal cases will be registered against him at all police stations across the metropolis,’’ Sapra said.
Jagtap said in view of serious complaints against Goswami, he is hiding in New Delhi. “First, we will lodge a first information report in Azad Maidan police station, it will be followed by other police stations. I am sure Mumbai Police will arrest him and bring him to Mumbai as per provisions of law,’’ Jagtap said.
