After Republic TV owner and Chief Editor Arnab Goswami underwent a medical test, the Raigad-Alibaug district court resumed for hearing. Responding to Goswami's allegations that he was assaulted, the public prosecutor told the court that there is a minor scratch on his hand as he was resisting when the police team visited his home.

In its defence, Raigad police said that Goswami was not cooperating with them and he even pushed the officers. Adding to his woes, another FIR has been registered against Goswami under section 353 (Assault or use of criminal force to deter a public servant from discharge of his duty) of IPC at NM Joshi Marg police station.
