BJP MLA Ram Kadam has accused the Uddhav Thackeray government of tampering and destroying the evidence in the Sushant Singh Rajput case, and demanded that the SIT probing the Disha Salian death should look into the Sushant Singh Rajput case, too.

Kadam made the demand in Maharashtra Assembly after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) last week submitted a closure report in the alleged suicide case of the Bollywood actor before a court.

The legislator stated that the case was transferred to the CBI 68 days after Rajput's death. He also claimed that the Bihar Police who had registered a case in connection with Rajput's death, was not allowed to conduct an inquiry.

"Sushant's house was handed over to the owner after destroying evidence, and the furniture was removed. The house was painted. It should be probed whether it was done to destroy evidence. Why did this happen," he questioned.

Sushant Singh Rajput, 34, was found hanging from the ceiling of his apartment in suburban Bandra on June 14, 2020. Six days earlier, on June 8, 2020, his former manager Disha Salian, 28, had died after falling off the 14th floor of a residential building in Malad area of the city.

Kadam called for investigation into the alleged involvement of Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, who was the Maharashtra Chief Minister in 2020, in the destruction of evidence. He also demanded that the role of Rajput's girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty's should be investigated as the Special Investigation Team formed in the Disha Salian case is still at work.
