The Maharashtra State Commission for Women (MSCW) on Sunday directed the Mumbai police to take action against Union Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Narayan Rane, his son MLA Nitesh Rane and BJP State president Chandrakant Patil for making defamatory statements which ‘tarnished’ the character of Disha Salian, said to be the former manager of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
The MSCW has also directed the police to block social media accounts spreading false information concerning Ms. Salian’s death.
In a series of tweets, MSCW chairperson and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Rupali Chakankar said that Mr. Rane, in a recent press conference, had claimed without proof that the late Ms. Salian was “raped and murdered” despite her autopsy report claiming otherwise.
