The Bombay High Court on Monday refused to grant bail to Republic TV Managing Director and Chief Editor Arnab Goswami and asked him to approach the lower court for bail.
Now, the Chief Judicial Magistrate has granted permission to interrogate Arnab Goswami inside Jail every day for three hours.
The Alibaug crime branch had moved an application before CJM seeking permission to interrogate Goswami for 3 hours every day to record his statement.
Goswami's team has already filed its bail plea before the Alibaug court on Monday and the hearing will continue tomorrow.

On Sunday, the Raigad police had shifted Goswami from an Alibaug school, where he was temporarily kept, to the Taloja Central Jail in the district.
Goswami was arrested early Wednesday by a team of Mumbai Police and Raigad Police in connection with the case of double-suicide of an architect Anvay Naik and his mother Kumud Naik in Alibaug on May 5, 2018.
In a suicide note, Naik had named Goswami and two others -- Feroze Shaikh and Nitesh Sarda -- who allegedly defaulted and failed to clear their dues of over Rs 5 crore for his professional services as agreed upon.
