The Bombay High Court is set to deliver its verdict on a petition seeking the registration of an FIR against Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray in connection with the death of celebrity manager Disha Salian. The plea was filed by Disha Salian's father, who has alleged rape and murder and demanded an official probe. Police previously treated the 2020 incident as a suicide following preliminary inquiries. Aaditya Thackeray's counsel has termed the plea politically motivated, while the court questioned the prosecution on why an FIR was not registered given the serious allegations.

00:11Police says gang rape angle in the Disha probe was ignored. Cops call it suicide.
00:17Disha's family blames Thakre Jr. Aditya calls case politically motivated.
00:22Disha Salayan was a celebrity manager, remember?
00:24She worked as a manager of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
00:292020 is when Disha fell off the 14th floor of Mumbai High Rise.
00:33And this case, as it still continues to be heard in the Court of Law today,
00:38all eyes is on that court hearing itself for what the court in fact comes out to say on this
00:44entire matter.
00:45That's something that we will in fact keep a close watch at.
00:48But right now we have Vidya joining us on the broadcast with more details.
00:51Vidya, very good morning to you.
00:53So this case indeed has been going on for the last five years now, six years now as we speak
01:01and has had a lot of speculations and debates over it with the probe continuing
01:06and Aditya Thakre facing this case from Disha Salayan's family's side.
01:11But right now, today with the court hearing, we will in fact see which side is it that the court
01:17comes out to rule against.
01:20Well, this is basically a case for registration of FIR.
01:24Satish Salayan, who is the father of Disha Salayan, had approached the court recently and said that
01:29even though he's coming, his arguments were basically Nilesh Ojha, the advocate, had argued that
01:34even if he's coming late, but he still has a right because the fact remains that the allegation is of
01:39rape and murder
01:42and that's one of the reasons why the FIR should have been registered on the mere complaint of Satish Salayan.
01:49However, Aditya Thakre's lawyer, Sudhi Paakbola, argued very clearly that Satish Salayan was only a tool in the hands of
02:00the political gimmick
02:01that had been going on since 2020 and that's one of the reasons why this FIR should not really be
02:07entertained
02:07and that Satish Salayan actually had, you know, he could actually go ahead to a magistrate court,
02:14like follow a legal procedure which is for registering an FIR.
02:17However, in this case, during the arguments we had seen as to how the court had pulled up the prosecution
02:24very clearly stating that it could not have done with inquiries.
02:28When there is a complaint of rape, then there has to be an FIR
02:31and that Satish Salayan has a right to find closure after all these years
02:36and that's one of the reasons why the arguments had been mostly targeted to,
02:40the observations had been targeted mainly towards the prosecution.
02:44The prosecution was very clear that they had made inquiries in this case
02:48and it did not seem like a case of murder and that it was the case of suicide according to
02:53the prosecution.
02:54However, in this case, when an allegation of rape and murder is raised,
02:57the court will really have to look into as to whether a case of an FIR,
03:02registration of an FIR and further investigation is warranted and can be done.
03:08Right, Vidya, thank you for bringing us all of those details.
03:11Viewers, this is the particular case that Vidya has also been referring to.
03:15There has been a lot of back and forth,
03:17but this particular plea is with regards to whether an FIR is required in the case or not.
03:23and that FIR is against Daditya Thakre which the family of the Shalsalayan wanted to in fact register.
03:30That is the entire case.
03:32That part of the case is what the hearing today is going to be about.
03:36Now, as we speak, we're going to keep a very close watch
03:39on how this entire story does unfold in the court of court.
