Ranaut, who has blamed the film industry and Rajput&#8217;s former girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty for his death, has taken it upon herself to bring &#8216;justice&#8217; to the dead actor. This has led her to criticise Mumbai police and Shiv Sena&#8217;s government in Maharashtra. Following her remark terming Mumbai &#8216;Pakistan-occupied Kashmir&#8217;, parts of her office deemed illegal by Maharashtra administration were torn down and the actor was provided Y security by the central government. She is now embroiled in a row with chief minister Uddhav Thackery.<\/p>\n<p>In the backdrop of this never-ending spectacle is the latest social media claim about Ranaut that she partied with criminal mastermind Abu Salem&#8217;s brother. This claim is viral along with an image where Ranaut is seated next to a man. Abu Salem has been convicted of multiple crimes, including the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case. He was feared in Bollywood for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thequint.com\/news\/india\/who-is-abu-salem\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">extorting money<\/a> from film producers and actors and seizing overseas distribution rights. He reportedly worked for Dawood Ibrahim.<\/p>\n<p>Former Shiv Sena MLA Shishir Shinde<span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-1qd0xha r-ad9z0x r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">\u00a0<a
