  "summary": "The Hindu reports that former celebrity manager Disha Salian’s father, Satish Salian, has sent a ₹500-crore defamation notice to Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray and his son Aaditya Thackeray. The notice alleges false, malicious, and defamatory allegations against Disha Salian and her father, claiming that their pursuit of justice is politically motivated. Uddhav Thackeray denied any connection to the case, stating that such character assassination will not be tolerated and that his party will initiate legal steps if necessary. The Central Bureau of Investigation registered a fresh FIR on September 14, following a Bombay High Court order directing an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Salian’s death.",
