Mumbai: Republic TV editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami on November 11 walked out of Taloja jail in Raigad district, hours after the Supreme Court granted him interim bail in an abetment to suicide case.

Mr. Goswami came out of the jail around 8.30 p.m. and waved to people assembled outside from the vehicle carrying him, and thanked the Supreme Court for granting him interim bail.

Mr. Goswami, who was shifted to Taloja central jail on November 8 morning from a makeshift quarantine centre in Alibaug, flashed the victory sign and said, “This is the victory of the people of India.”
