Slowly and steadily Mumbai Police is yet again approaching to arrest Republic TV Editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami. The Mumbai Police has alleged that Arnab Goswami bribed senior officials of TV rating agency BARC, including former CEO Partho Dasgupta, to manipulate the channel's TRP (television rating point). 

Demanding further remand of former CEO Partho Dasgupta, Mumbai Police said, "Dasgupta misused his official position and manipulated TRP of specific news channels broadcast by ARG Outlier Media Pvt Ltd, such as Republic Bharat and Republic TV. Dasgupta, while serving as CEO of BARC, got involved in the conspiracy along with Arnab Goswami and others."

Mumbai Police also alleged that Mr. Goswami had given Mr. Dasgupta money "from time to time", and that the former CEO, who was in that position from June 2013 to November 2019, used this money to buy expensive items that were seized from his residence in Raigad when he was arrested.
