Hours after the attack on Arnab Goswami and Samyabrata Ray Goswami, Congress leader Alka Lamba in a tweet celebrated the youth wing of the party.

Mere hours after Republic Media Network's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami and his wife and Republic TV Editor Samyabrata Ray Goswami were physically attacked on their way home from Republic's studios in Mumbai at about quarter-past-midnight on Wednesday night, Congress leader Alka Lamba celebrated the attack.

Furthermore, she went on to hail the Congress Youth Wing, following the attackers confessing to Arnab's Mumbai police security attache after being apprehended that they belonged to the Congress Youth Wing and were sent by party higher-ups to teach him a lesson. Alka Lamba in a tweet posted at 3 AM on Thursday wrote, "Long live youth Congress"

Arnab in his written complaint to the Mumbai Police mentioned about Lamba's tweet and said, "Congress leader Alka Lamba's celebration of the attack on me further reinforces my belief that this attack on me and my wife Samyabrata Ray has been orchestrated by Sonia Gandhi and her close circle of Congress leaders at a time when we have raised questions about her accountability in several cases."

Alka Lamba - अलका लाम्बा🇮🇳 @LambaAlka
देशभर के कार्यकर्ता #ArnabGoswami द्वारा काँग्रेस अध्यक्षा सोनिया गांधी जी पर दिए गए ब्यान को लेकर बेहद आहत हैं,

अगर समय रहते @CMOMaharashtra ने उचित क़ानूनी कार्यवाही नहीं की तो मैं यह #चेतावनी दे रही हूँ कि फिर काँग्रेस कार्यकर्ताओं को सड़को पर उतर आने से कोई नहीं रोक पायेगा. https://twitter.com/LambaAlka/status/1252937533769478144 …

Alka Lamba - अलका लाम्बा🇮🇳 @LambaAlka
अगर #ArnabGoswami को साम्प्रदायिक हिंसा भड़काने और काँग्रेस अध्यक्षा श्रीमती सोनिया गांधी जी को लेकर की गई टिप्पणी पर #गिरफ्तार नहीं किया जाता,
तो भारतीय युवा काँग्रेस के कार्यकर्ताओं को बिना सोचे सड़कों पर उतर जाना चाहिए, वर्ना #करोना से पहले यह नफ़रत कर ज़हर देश को मार डालेगा🇮🇳

The two goons have been arrested and an FIR has been registered against them by NM Joshi Marg Police station under sec 341 (Punishment for wrongful restraint) and 504 (Intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) of IPC, several hours and much effort after the incident and ensuing complaint, which has been pasted below.

Arnab narrates the physical attack on him

The attack came after Arnab had questioned Congress president Sonia Gandhi in his debate mere hours earlier. The attack took place at Ganpatrao Kadam Marg, just a short distance away from Arnab's house, as he and his wife - Republic TV Editor Samyabrata Ray Goswami - were driving back in their Toyota Corolla.
