On being asked if Karan Johar himself would be summoned, the minister replied: “Karan Johar’s manager has been summoned, and if needed we will summon Karan Johar as well.” News reports later verified it was Apoorva Mehta, CEO of Johar’s production house, who had been summoned recently in Sushant Singh Rajput case. The statement of Johar’s manager, Reshma Shetty, has been recorded earlier.
Meanwhile, Kangana Ranaut’s digital team, which goes by the name Team Kangana Ranaut on an unverified Twitter account, reacted to Deshmukh’s announcement, writing: “So Karan Johar’s manager is summoned but not @AUThackeray’s best friend @karanjohar!! @MumbaiPolice stop making a joke out of SSR murder investigations.”
A second tweet on the account reads: “How can @MumbaiPolice display blatantly shameless nepotism even in issuing summons? Kangana has been issued summon not her manager but Chief Minister’s son’s best friend’s manager is called for questioning, why? saheb ko pareshani na ho issliye (is it to ensure that sir is not inconvenienced)?”
Sushant Singh Rajput was found hanging at his residence on June 14. Post mortem report stated that the actor had committed suicide.
