Hours after Republic TV’s Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami and his wife were attacked while they were on their way home from Republic’s studios in Mumbai late Wednesday night, Congress leader Alka Lamba tweeted twice, purportedly celebrating the attack.
As per Goswami, the incident took place around 12.15 am. Moments after the attack, Goswami released a video of himself claiming that the attackers admitted that they were Youth Congress workers and were sent to attack him by their high command. He accused the Congress President Sonia Gandhi of the attack.

Deo’s tweet was about a complaint filed by him against Goswami in Raipur for allegedly making inflammatory statements on his channel to invoke hatred among different communities and using derogatory language against Congress President Sonia Gandhi.
On Wednesday, Lamba had tweeted saying Congress workers were upset with Goswami over his comments on Sonia Gandhi. She had also said that if the Maharashtra Chief Minister did not take appropriate legal action, nobody would be able to stop Congress workers from hitting the streets.
