Mumbai, March 20 -- Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday denied any connection between his family and the Disha Salian case, emphasising that if evidence exists, it should be presented in court.

He pointed out that his family has worked for the people for six to seven generations and has no link to this issue. Thackeray also warned that making false allegations can backfire.

Thackeray's statement comes in response to allegations that his son, Aaditya Thackeray, was involved in Disha Salian's death. Advocate Nilesh Ojha, representing Disha's father, Satish Salian, claimed that Aaditya Thackeray was a suspect in the case and that corrupt police officials had attempted to cover it up during Uddhav Thackeray's government.
