Arnab Goswami's Case: When 'Abetment' Meets Confrontation

criminal judiciary advanced news_to_law

You know what's interesting? The recent Arnab Goswami case and how it's got everyone talking. For those who missed it, Arnab Goswami, the famous news anchor, was arrested for allegedly inciting police action against Disha Salian's boyfriend, Rohan Raute, in a 2020 case. Fast forward to 2024, the Supreme Court acquitted him on charges of abetment and section 307 of the IPC. But here's the thing: the case is a textbook example of how 'abetment' under Section 107 of the IPC works. Essentially, it means supporting or encouraging someone to commit a crime, which might not necessarily make the abettor liable for the crime itself. But what happens when the abettor's words are as inflammatory as some of Arnab's alleged conversations? That's a whole different story.
