"Disha was killed after the gang rape. Both the cases will be reopened," he had tweeted.

Reacting to Rane's tweet the Mumbai Mayor said, "Narayan Rane raised Disha Salian issue. As a woman, I'm distressed. A Union Minister talking about a postmortem report is wrong. Character assassination of a woman is being done after her death. I would demand Women Commission for strict action."
