Amidst the report of involvement of a big political leader in Disha Salian and Sushant Singh Rajput's murder, people on social media had been speculating it must be Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray's son Aditya Thackeray. However, there was no official report of him being present at the party which was attended by Disha Salian.
However, Aaditya Thackeray on Tuesday gave his clarification on Sushant's case. Maharashtra Tourism Minister Aaditya Thackeray on Tuesday broke his silence on late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajputs case, 50 days after his death.
Terming the allegations and ongoing whisper-campaign against him as ‘low-level dirty politics', Thackeray Jr. said that so far he has maintained restraint in the matter though he was "not connected to the case in any manner".
"Maharashtra government is making all-out efforts to combat the Coronavirus pandemic. Given the government's success and popularity, those who cannot digest it have started to play politics with Sushant Singh Rajput's case," Aaditya Thackeray said in a statement.

He said that disgruntled political elements were using unnecessary slander to target the Thackeray family as a whole and him personally, though he took no names.
"It is like licking off the ‘ghee' from a dead body, which is sickening. Sushant Singh Rajput's death is sad and shocking. I have absolutely no connection with the case," Thackeray Jr. said.
However, giving his clarification on the basis of whispers and random social media report has backfired him. It has raised suspicion over him even more. Republic TV Editor-In-Chief raised the question on him and asked if there was no direct mention of his name then what was the use of giving any clarification? It was only said that a powerful political leader was present but Aditya Thackeray gave his response on this, therefore it certainly raises suspicion.
