The president of south Mumbai’s Radio Club, Harish Garg, was placed under arrest on the order of the Ballard Pier magistrate for criminal defamation filed by Ravi Goenka, special public prosecutor at the Income Tax department. Garg was placed under arrest on July 22 and released on bail bond of Rs 10,000 immediately, claimed Goenka.

The current issue between the duo began after Goenka, also a member of the elite Radio Club was allegedly denied the contact details of its members by Garg, to campaign for membership to its managing committee. Goenka had moved the city civil court where he had urged the magistrate to direct the Radio Club to facilitate him with the contact details so he could continue to campaign for the election which was in November 2018.
