New Delhi [India], March 26 (ANI): Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut targeted the BJP over the five-year-old case of Disha Salian, saying that a political conspiracy aimed at 'defamation' had been ongoing in the case for the past five years.

'This political conspiracy of defamation has been going on for the last 5 years. The BJP has no work; they don't have anything else to do,' said Raut.

The UBT leader expressed faith in the law and said, 'If the matter is in court, let it stay there. We have full faith in the judicial system.'

The Maharashtra opposition has been targeting the BJP over the Disha Salian case, alleging a 'conspiracy' to defame Aaditya Thackeray.

NCP-SCP leader Rohit Pawar had earlier attacked the BJP and claimed that the party would do politics over Disha Salian after her father sought a probe into her death.

Earlier, Satish Salian, father of the late Disha Salian filed a written complaint with the Mumbai Police Commissioner seeking the registration of an FIR against Aditya Thackeray and others accused in connection with the offences of gang rape and murder of his daughter.

Satish Salian's advocate, Nilesh Ojha, said that the complaint had been accepted by the Joint Commissioner of Police, and the accused in the case include Aaditya Thackeray, former Commissioner of Police Parambir Singh, Officer Sachin Vaze and actor Aditya Pancholi.

'Aaditya Thackeray is the main accused in this case. Uddhav Thackeray is the main accused of misuse of power for the coverup... Aaditya Thackeray is found in the drug cartel, and this is in the official records of NCB. We have also mentioned this in the complaint... Today, we will also release some pictures in support of this,' he alleged.

Satish Salian had approached the Bombay High Court seeking a probe into his daughter's death and requesting the registration of an FIR against Aaditya Thackeray, among others.

Disha was found dead on June 8, 2020, days before actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found hanging in his flat in suburban Bandra, Mumbai.

This development came on the heels of the CBI reportedly submitting a closure report on the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput in 2020.

According to sources, the closure has been filed in a Mumbai Court nearly five years after Sushant Singh's death.

Sushant, 34, was found dead at his Bandra residence on June 14, 2020, which created a huge controversy, with the investigation later being handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation.

His postmortem report stated the cause of death was asphyxia. The postmortem was conducted at Mumbai's Cooper Hospital. (ANI)
