ctims — Anamika Rao and Bindiya Handa — who dragged Dhoble to court received another setback a day after the Bombay high court said the police action was as per law.
On Wednesday, the court observed that one of the sisters knew Mohan Tolani, who invited the girls for the birthday party, very well. Observing that the sisters had a family to look after, Mahale wrote in her order: "The son of the victim is in need of love, affection and care of his mother, who is a patient of autism (sic). For his welfare, she can be released on an undertaking."
Everything seems to be going against the victims as the court said there was some substance in the information received by the police about the party at Masala Curry. "It was not a birthday party. But the parents of the victims have given an assurance that they will take proper care of their daughters. Some victims have children. They need the care, love and affection of their mothers," the court order said.
The court also observed that following the inquiry of the victims, it appears that most of them were well-acquainted with each other. They regularly attended parties hosted by Tolani, but no one was able to give the specific occasion/reason for the party at Masala Curry on June 5.
"If one sees the background of each victim, there appears to be no reason for them to be acquainted with the accused. Their lifestyle does not match their earnings. During inquiry, these girls did not disclose true and complete facts about themselves and their occupation. Some did not even give proper details about their families. It appears that most of them wanted good money and an opportunity to work in films and serials," the court observed.
