Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader Sanjay Raut has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of attempting to divert public attention by shifting focus from the Aurangzeb tomb issue to the controversial death case of celebrity manager Disha Salian. According to ANI, Raut claimed that BJP’s efforts regarding Aurangzeb’s grave at Khultabad in Maharashtra’s Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district had failed, prompting the party to revive discussions surrounding Salian’s demise.

Disha Salian was found dead on June 2, 2020, days before Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput was discovered hanging in his Mumbai residence. Her father, Satish, had approached the Bombay High Court seeking a thorough investigation into his daughter’s death and calling for an interrogation of Shiv Sena (UBT) legislator Aaditya Thackeray.
