Celebrity manager Disha Salian’s death in June 2020 continues to be a bone of contention between the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray-led) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which has aligned with the Eknath Shinde Sena. After ruling parties demanded amid several adjournments of the Assembly that the death case be probed, Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced on Thursday the forming of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to work on new evidence, if any.
Outside the House, BJP legislator Nitesh Rane named former minister Aaditya Thackeray’s scrutiny in the case. Inside the House, the Thackeray scion was not named but frequent references were made to him. Rane’s party colleagues Amit Satam and Devayani Pharande pressed for the demand. The ruckus created by the two sides led to repeated adjournments. Earlier in the day, the lower house was adjourned and the Opposition staged a walkout over not being allowed to debate the phone-tapping case involving senior police officer Rashmi Shukla. A court in Pune has rejected the closure report in this case, following which Leader of the Opposition in the legislative assembly Ajit Pawar accused the government of protecting the officer. He demanded to know Shukla’s political handler.
