Father of Disha Salian Targets Uddhav Thackeray Over Sons Alleged Misconduct
Disha Salians father accuses Uddhav Thackeray of failing to control his son amid ongoing legal disputes over defamation claims.
Mumbai, September 17 (Daily Kiran) : In Mumbai, the ongoing controversy surrounding Disha Salian’s death has intensified, with her father, Satish Salian, directing sharp criticism at Uddhav Thackeray, the leader of Shiv Sena (UBT). Following the filing of a First Information Report (FIR) in the case, Thackeray has been accused of attempting to tarnish the family’s reputation. Satish Salian claims that Thackeray has failed to rein in his son, Aditya Thackeray, amid serious allegations.
Satish Salian has issued a defamation notice seeking ₹500 crore from Aditya Thackeray. His lawyer, Nilesh Ojha, stated that both Aditya Thackeray and Anil Deshmukh have been served with this legal notice. Ojha highlighted that in a petition filed in the High Court, the defendants claimed that there was a conspiracy to malign Aditya Thackeray’s name, arguing that he had no involvement in the case.
Ojha asserted that previous claims of innocence made by the defendants have been proven false in court. He pointed out that the location of Aditya Thackeray’s mobile tower aligns with key events in the case, suggesting a deliberate attempt to mislead the public.
Regarding the defamation notice, Ojha warned that if the Thackerays do not comply, legal action will ensue. He emphasized that the court’s decision could allow for the recovery of damages, including the potential attachment of property.
The Supreme Court had previously assigned the investigation to the CBI, which cleared Aditya Thackeray of any wrongdoing in connection with Disha Salian’s murder. However, Ojha noted that the High Court had dismissed objections raised by the Thackerays, reaffirming the CBI’s findings.
Ojha also mentioned that the CBI’s lawyer had testified in court, reinforcing the claim that Aditya Thackeray’s affidavit was misleading. The court has since ordered a re-investigation into the case.
In response to Uddhav Thackeray’s comments, Satish Salian questioned why he has not exercised better control over his son, especially given the serious allegations. He accused Aditya Thackeray of dishonesty, pointing out the conflicting evidence regarding mobile tower locations.
The legal battle continues to unfold, with Salian demanding a public apology and a monetary settlement within seven days, alongside a video apology to be aired in mainstream media. This notice serves as a clear warning that failure to comply could lead to further legal repercussions.
