The legislators of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena faction on Thursday stalled the proceedings of the Maharashtra assembly as they demanded a probe into the deaths of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, and his former manager Disha Salian.
BJP MLA and son of Union Minister Narayan Rane, Nitesh Rane, and Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde faction) MLA Bharat Gogavale raised the issue in Assembly, which followed a ruckus inside the house leading to four adjournments in two hours.
Heeding the demands of legislators, the Maharashtra government announced the formation of SIT to investigate Salian’s death. “There will be an SIT probe into Disha Salian’s death case. If anyone has any piece of evidence in this matter, they can give it to the Police,” said Maharashtra Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis in the State Assembly
Speaking to the media outside the Assembly, Rane said Aditya Thackeray should be made to undergo narco tests to clear the mystery shrouding Salian’s death.
“Let the truth about the Disha Salian case come out. The case is still with Mumbai Police and has not yet been investigated by CBI. I’ll request CM to investigate it. The final postmortem report is yet to come and pages of the entire book are yet to be found. Narco test of Aaditya Thackeray must be conducted,” said Rane.
Salian, who was Rajput’s talent manager, fell to her death from a highrise building on June 8, 2020, days before the actor was found dead in his house. Soon after several conspiracy theories claimed both Salian and Rajput were murdered, with several BJP leaders (then in Opposition) levelling allegations against Aaditya Thackeray and some other Sena leaders.
Meanwhile, members of the ruling coalition also staged a demonstration in the legislature complex and demanded an inquiry into Lok Sabha member Rahul Shewale’s claim of several phone calls from a person with ‘AU’ initials to actress Rhea Chakraborty, the girlfriend of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
Shewale, who belongs to the Shiv Sena faction led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, had on Wednesday flagged in the Lok Sabha the issue of alleged suicide of Rajput and asked about the status of the CBI’s inquiry into his death.
