'Politically motivated': Uddhav Thackeray denies link to Disha Salian case, alleges ‘character assassination’

Uddhav Thackeray reiterated said that Disha Salian's death was an unfortunate incident but his family had no connection with it.

'Politically motivated': Uddhav Thackeray denies link to Disha Salian case, alleges ‘character assassination’

Aaditya Thackeray, son of Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray, has denied any connection to the case involving his family and warned of legal action against those he claims are engaging in a "campaign of character assassination". The controversy stems from a ₹500-crore defamation notice sent by Disha Salian's father, Satish Salian, against Aaditya Thackeray and former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh.

The notice alleges that the recipients made "false, malicious and defamatory allegations" against Satish Salian and portrayed his pursuit of justice as politically motivated.
