A new culinary dawn
Open doors, promotions and the finest food — there’s never been a better time to get out and dine
In a sensational statement made in Mumbai, India, on Tuesday, a former Maharashtra Chief Minister who presently is a BJP Rajya Sabha member alleged that both Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput and his former manager Disha Salian were ‘murdered’.
“Who all were there in the party that was held on June 8 and June 13... the police must find out,” Rane demanded, broadly hinting at the presence of a young Maharashtra minister at the gathering.
Rane further alleged that on June 8, Disha Salian was raped and then murdered, and later on June 14 even Sushant was killed.
It is not very difficult to find out who was issuing threat calls to Sushant Singh Rajput, Rane said at a press conference.
On the night of June 8-9, Disha Salian fell from a high rise building in Malad suburb, while Sushant was found dead on June 14 at his rental flat in Bandra.
Besides Rane, several leaders from the state BJP, including Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis and sections of Bollywood personalities have been clamouring that the Sushant case should be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation, but the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi government has spurned the demands.
Reacting to the BJP charges, senior Sena leader and Transport Minister Anil Parab said Tourism Minister and Chief Minister’s son Aditya Thackeray was not linked in any manner either to the Sushant suicide or the case investigations.
“This is being done to tarnish his image... If anybody has any evidence about this, they are free to prove it or expose it in the media,” Parab challenged, speaking to media persons.
Aditya Thackeray responds
Breaking his silence over the rumours doing the rounds on his involvement in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, Aditya Thackeray has put out a strong message on the same.
The Shiv Sena leader and son of the Maharashtra Chief Minister dimissed any connection to the case saying, “Using someone’s death for political gains is inhumane.”
He said it is “not a crime” to have a relation with Bollywood actors and that the cine industry is an important part of Mumbai.
“As the grandson of Hinduruday Samrat Balasaheb Thackeray, I would like to clarify that I won’t get involved in any such matter which will drag down the dignity of Maharashtra, Shiv Sena and the Thackeray family.” (With inputs from IANS)
