On which statement did the controversy erupt?
Satish Salian says that the statements of both the leaders, demanding a fresh investigation into his daughter's death, were presented as a political move. Aditya Thackeray had said on September 16 that he never met Disha and linking her name in the case is a campaign without evidence. At the same time, Anil Deshmukh had called the Disha case in March 2025 as a conspiracy to defame Aditya Thackeray.
