In one such FIR registered at Sangli in 2008 alleging unlawful assembly and breach of peace, Thackeray filed a discharge application in 2013 at the stage of framing of charges.
The application was filed before a Magistrate who rejected the application and summoned Thackeray to appear for framing of charges.
When Thackeray failed to appear, the Magistrate issued a non-bailable warrant against him.
