History

Historical Context

2026 FIR against Aaditya Thackeray etc. echoes earlier high-profile CBI probes such as the 2G spectrum scandal, where the Supreme Court in February 2012 cancelled 122 licences and the CAG estimated a loss of INR1.76 trillion. Both episodes show recurring tensions between political figures, the CBI and the judiciary, fueling calls for clearer police-CBI coordination across Indian states.
