Devendra Fadnavis reacts to Aaditya Thackeray's connection in Sushant Singh Rajput death case

Former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis on Friday said that no one from the BJP has taken Aaditya Thackeray's name or linked him to the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. 

Fadnavis was speaking to reporters after the inauguration of Covid Hospital in Baner in Pune.

Further he said that in the late actor's death case shocking revelations are being made.

"No leader from the BJP has taken the name of Aaditya Thackeray directly or indirectly (in Rajput case). The kind of revelations that are coming up in the case, I think they are surprising," he said. 

"After 40 days (of the incident), the CBI took over the investigation. What if evidence were destroyed during these 40 days? I have come to know through media reports that eight hard disks were destroyed," Fadnavis said. 

"After seeing these things, a question arises whether Maharashtra police was under any political pressure during the investigation," he said. 

"I am sure the CBI will bring the truth out. The only thing is that if the truth was investigated earlier, I think the evidence would not have got destroyed and we would have known the culprit," he said.

Sushant Singh Rajput was found hanging in his Bandra residence on June 14.
