He even reportedly said that their legal battle was not limited to the Salian case and portrayed it as a broader fight for people who, according to him, had been denied justice.
“No matter how influential the accused may be, no one is above the law—the law is above everyone,” Ojha said.
“We must build this public movement to ensure that these perpetrators face their punishment and are shown their true place. This country will be governed strictly by the Constitution, not by lawlessness,” he added.
Notice accepted by Thackeray's lawyer
Speaking about the delivery of the notice, Ojha said Thackeray's lawyer was present to formally receive it, preventing the situation from escalating further outside Matoshree.

According to Ojha, the letter requested that the CBI take steps to provide security to the four.
