Special CBI Judge SP Naik-Nimbalkar declined the CBI's plea, stating that the agency did not specify legal provisions under which the court could intervene to prevent the airing of the documentary. The judge emphasised that the court lacked inherent powers to halt the broadcast and granted the CBI the freedom to seek recourse through an appropriate forum.
According to information from IMDb, the docuseries delves into the mysterious disappearance of 25-year-old Bora and uncovers the shocking aftermath of the case.
