A political war of words has erupted between the Opposition and the Mahayuti alliance after Disha Salian's father, Satish, asked for a probe into his daughter's death along with the interrogation of former Maharashtra Minister Aaditya Thackeray in connection with the case.

Speaking to news agency ANI on the issue, Rohit Pawar, the Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) from National Congress Party (SP), has accused the Maharashtra Government of trying to use the names of Salian and late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's name for the upcoming Mumbai elections.
