Pune: Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Friday that no BJP leader has “directly or indirectly” named state minister Aditya Thackeray in the case of the death of Sushant Singh Rajput. On the sidelines of a program for the inauguration of a Covid-19 hospital in Baner here, Fadnavis told reporters that shocking revelations are taking place in the case. Rajputs were found hanging from the noose on June 14 at their flat in Bandra, Mumbai. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has recently taken over the investigation of the case. He said, “No BJP leader (in Rajput case) has directly or indirectly named Aditya Thackeray.
The kind of revelations that are coming out in the case, I think they are surprising. ” The Leader of the Opposition in the state assembly wondered why all these revelations did not happen before the CBI investigation. Fadnavis said, “40 days (after the incident), the CBI took over the investigation. What would happen if the evidence was destroyed during these 40 days? I have come to know through the news that eight hard disks have been destroyed. ” “After looking at these things, a question arises whether the Maharashtra Police was under any political pressure during the investigation,” he said. He said, “I am confident that the CBI will bring out the truth.” The only thing is that if the truth had been investigated earlier, I think the evidence would not have been destroyed and we would have found the culprit. “
Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut had recently alleged that a conspiracy was being hatched to link the name of Yuva Sena President Aditya Thackeray to the actor’s death case. Raut, however, did not name anyone and said that the opposition was unable to digest that the Shiv Sena-led government was in power in the state. Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray’s son Aditya himself had clarified that he had nothing to do with the death of the actor and that he and his family were being unnecessarily targeted. Congress leader Sachin Sawant has tweeted a photo of Fadnavis with filmmaker Sandeep Singh. Singh’s name is also coming in the investigation. When Fadnavis was asked about this tweet, he said, “Sawant is in government.” Then why did the Mumbai Police keep all the suspects away? Why were they not questioned? ” He asked, “Why was it called suicide from day one?” In relation to the photo, he said that he might have attended an event where Singh would also be present.
