During the cross examination, Shinde-led Sena's lawyer Mahesh Jethmalaani questioned Prabhu who was chief whip of undivided Sena in legislative assembly about how the whip was issued on June 21 and to all whom.
After the hearing Jethmalani alleged that the whole case is based on the claim of whip issued by the Sena UBT but no such whip was issued and the whip the Sena UBT is claiming to has been issued is forged one.
During the cross examination, Prabhu asserted that the Sena MLAs who went to Surat and then Guwahati in June 2022 along with CM Shinde were under pressure by the BJP and there was a discussion that the MLAs were abducted.
Raut also dubbed CM Shinde as Vibhishan as he betrayed his brother and demon king Ravan to join hands with Lord Ram. "Everyone can come to Balasaheb s Smriti Sthal (memorial). But we will never accept those who indulged in drama as Shiv Sainiks. They don t have any faith in Balasaheb," Raut added.
