EXCLUSIVE: Arnab's Unsparing Questions To Anil Deshmukh, The Man Who Ordered His Arrest | Param Bir

Republic brings you the interview nobody expected: Arnab Goswami grills the man who ordered his arrest—former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh—in the interview nobody expected. From “I will never forget the man” to “I think he’s scared of me”, Arnab confronts Deshmukh on why he reopened the Anvay Naik case, whether he will apologise for Arnab’s 2020 arrest, and what really happened between the Home Ministry, Param Bir Singh and Sachin Waze during the Antilia bomb scare. In a first on Republic, Deshmukh tells Arnab on camera that former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh was the mastermind in the Antilia bomb case—alleging that from planting the gelignite‑laden Scorpio outside Mukesh Ambani’s Antilia residence to shielding Sachin Waze and misleading the MVA government, the “entire planning” was done under Param Bir. Arnab asks the questions no one else has: Did Deshmukh ever tell the Ambanis that Param Bir was behind the plot? Why is Param Bir still not named as an accused despite cyber‑expert testimony that he paid to insert a fake Jaish‑ul‑Hind poster into the Telegram probe? From “Arrests Arnab in 2020, runs away from Arnab in 2026” to the biggest revelation yet on Param Bir’s alleged role in the Antilia bomb scare, this is inside the most tense interview—where Arnab grills the man who got him arrested, and the Antilia truth is revealed like never before.
