Shiv Sena leader and Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray today broke his silence over the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Taking to Twitter, Thackeray labelled the allegations against him as ‘dirty politics’ and said that he has been exercising ‘restraint’.

Thackeray tweeted his statement in Marathi saying he has no involvement in this case. Calling the allegations levelled at him and his family ‘baseless’, he said it is an attempt to malign the image of the Thackeray family.

He alleged that Sushant’s death is being politicised and those who do not trust the law are derailing the investigation and diluting the motive of the fight for justice. He wrote that he will maintain calm in this case and will not act in a manner that will affect his family’s image.

Thackeray also said that the film industry is a crucial part of Mumbai and it is not a crime to have friends from the film fraternity.
