Key Questions Answered

Aaditya Thackeray's lawyers formally responded by completely refuting all allegations and calling them baseless. They clarified that a social media post made on September 16 did not mention Satish Salian's name or refer to him, and asserted that the claims were motivated by political animosity.

Satish Salian, the father of late Disha Salian, filed a defamation suit and served a Rs 500 crore legal notice demanding an apology after a social media post by Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray. Satish Salian and his legal team traveled to Thackeray's Mumbai residence, 'Matoshree', to serve the notice personally.

The Bombay High Court ordered a fresh CBI probe into the 2020 death of Disha Salian after criticizing the Mumbai Police for not registering an FIR initially. Following this judicial direction, the CBI registered an FIR to investigate the circumstances surrounding her death.
