Satish recounts wait for probe

Satish said he had been waiting for the case to be reopened for the past two years and for an investigation to be conducted into the matter.

"Initially, an SIT was set up for the case, but they did nothing. I waited for another two years. Then I met Ashutosh Sir, who referred me to advocate Nilesh Ojha," he added.

According to Satish, he approached the Bombay High Court on Ojha's recommendation after the Commissioner's office did not respond to his request for an FIR to be registered.

Case handed over to CBI

"After that, the proceedings dragged on; the court kept assigning dates, and time just kept slipping by, a year and a half passed. Finally, an order was issued to hand the case over to the CBI. There was a hearing that lasted two-and-a-half days... Finally, an FIR was registered, and the case was handed over to the CBI; it was a major breakthrough," he added.

"Now, the door has opened, and the investigation has commenced. I am absolutely certain that we will eventually get justice. We waited for six years. God has finally granted this to us," Satish said.
