The Central Bureau of Investigation filing a case into the death of Disha Salian, the former manager of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, has led to new political battle lines being drawn, with Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut terming the development a “media trial” and a “conspiracy” to defame the Thackeray family “at the behest of Delhi”, alluding to the ruling BJP at the Centre.
“Whatever the facts are, they will be brought to light. Maharashtra Minister of State for Home and Shiv Sena MLA Yogesh Kadam rubbished the allegations of a political vendetta behind the CBI filing the FIR. “The investigation is proceeding strictly under the court’s directives.
Because the matter is in court,” Bawankule, the state Revenue Minister, said, it won’t be appropriate for me to say anything else.
Maharashtra minister and BJP leader Chandrashekhar Bawankule, responding to the Opposition’s allegations of political vendetta over the woman’s death, said the CBI probe will eventually reveal the “absolute truth”. NCP (SP) MLA Rohit Pawar, taking a swipe at the Centre, said the government “pulls out the CBI weapon whenever elections approach. He said the case was handed over to the CBI on the court’s direction. Appropriate action, in accordance with the rules, is being taken against anyone whose role in the matter appears suspicious or whose questioning and investigation are deemed necessary,” Kadam said.
“The report clearly stated that Aaditya Thackeray had absolutely no connection to the matter.
Raut told reporters in Mumbai that a closure report in Disha Salian’s death case was filed when Devendra Fadnavis was the home minister. Raising this issue repeatedly is politically motivated,” he said.
