Indian TV anchor’s arrest sparks outrage from government

MUMBAI: A controversial Indian TV news anchor known for inflammatory right-wing rhetoric was arrested Wednesday in connection with the suicide of a designer who worked on his channel’s offices, prompting outrage from Hindu nationalist government ministers.
The arrest of Arnab Goswami, a popular but polarizing figure in the country’s competitive news market, was broadcast live on Republic TV, the channel he co-founded.
Republic TV has been accused in the past of illegally rigging ratings by bribing people to watch the channel.
