"After the demise of Sushant Singh Rajput and Disha Salian, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray called me twice urging me to say it was not a minister's car. This is an attempt to pressurize us," added the Union Minister.
The father-son due had allegedly made defamatory remarks against late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's former manager Disha Salian.
On February 27, a case was registered against Narayan Rane and Nitesh Rane for allegedly spreading false information about the death of Salian. (ANI)
