Amidst the ongoing investigations in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut once again defended Aaditya Thackeray, the son of Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and Yuva Sena chief. Raut blamed the media for trying to connect his name with the Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case.

Talking to Zee News on Thursday, Raut denied any role played by Aaditya Thackeray in the actor’s death. He said that Aaditya’s name has not come up in the investigation done so far by the Mumbai Police to determine the exact cause of the death.

Raut alleged that the national media that is unnecessarily taking up Aditya’s name in the case. The Shiv Sena leader had also commented that the Opposition still cannot digest the fact that the Sena-led government is in power in the state.

“Aaditya Thackeray’s name has not come up anywhere but it is only the media which is taking his name again and again,” Raut said. He further added, “one can take anyone’s name in the Supreme Court. The Mumbai Police is calmly investigating the whole case and the truth will come to fore soon.”

Aaditya, a state minister in Uddhav Thackeray’s government, had earlier clarified that he was not connected to actor Sushant Singh Rajput death case and he and his family are being targeted for no reason.
