The Bombay High Court has ordered the removal of actor Salman Khan’s name from the plea filed over the custodial death of accused Anuj Thapan, who was found dead inside a toilet in the police crime branch.
The court said, “Delete his name. Petitioner seeks leave to amend the petition to delete the name of respondent 4 as there is no pleading against him and no relief sought against him,” according to a leading media portal.
The bench came out in the actor’s support stating, “What is the point of making a person who is supposed to be the victim a party respondent? We see no reason why respondent 4 (Salman Khan) should continue to be in this plea. He is not a necessary party.”
