Uddhav Thackeray Denies Any Link to Disha Salian Case

Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday said he would take legal action if the "character assassination" campaign targeting his family over the 2020 Disha Salian death case did not stop. 

The former Maharashtra Chief Minister spoke on the issue days after the Bombay High Court ordered a CBI probe into Salian's death in response to her father's petition. The Central agency subsequently registered a case



without naming any accused.

"We have no connection with this case. Aaditya (Thackeray) has also said so. This issue is not merely about me. Such character assasination can take place with you people too," Thackeay said, replying to reporters' questions here. "If such allegations are made continuously, how long one should tolerate it? I am wondering why the names of Modi and Trump are absent in this case," he said on a sarcastic note.
