Arnab Goswami took to Twitter and shared a video in which he alleged that he was attacked by Youth Congress workers when he and his wife was on his way back from his studio in Mumbai. According to reports, the attack took place almost 500 metres away from his house as he was driving back following his show, with his wife and Republic TV Editor Samyabrata Ray Goswami in their Toyota Corolla.

Further, he also said that they threw some form on liquid over the car and then escaped.
