The 2020 death case of Disha Salian, the former manager of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, has taken a drastic turn as her father moves to Bombay High Court, demanding a fresh investigation. He also seeks the filing of a First Information Report (FIR) against Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray. On June 8, 2020, Disha was found dead under mysterious circumstances after allegedly falling from the 14th floor of a residential building in Malad, Mumbai.

Six days later, on June 14, 2020, Raabta actor Sushant was found dead in his Mumbai apartment. The police initially declared it a suicide case, but later, it was transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for further inquiry, as per the reports.

Case Against Aaditya Thackeray

Disha’s father, Satish Salian, claims his daughter was brutally raped and murdered followed by a ‘politically-orchestrated cover-up’. According to a PTI report, the initial probe conducted by the city police was genuine; however, the case was closed to protect influential people.

"The Mumbai police hastily closed the death as a case of suicide or accidental death without taking into account forensic evidence, circumstantial proof, and eyewitness testimonies," the report quoted the plea.

“At the time she (Disha Salian) was murdered, there was Uddhav Thackeray govt. in power in the state. Since his (Uddhav Thackeray) son, Aaditya Thackeray, was the accused, the corrupt police officials covered up the case. After 2.5 years, when the Shinde sahab govt came to power, where Fadnavis sahab was the Home Minister,” Satish’s lawyer Nilesh C Ojha spoke about the allegations against Aaditya Thackeray while talking to ANI.

He further added, “On January 12, 2024, a written complaint was filed accusing Aaditya Thackeray, Suraj Pancholi and others of gang rape.FIR was not registered for more than one year. The affidavit filed by Aaditya Thackeray stated that he was given a clean chit by the CBI in the case. There is also proof that Anil Deshmukh didn't want any action (on Aaditya Thackeray).”

Response Of Shiv Sena (UBT)

Shiv Sena(UBT) spokesperson Kishori Pednekar dismissed Satish Salian's plea calling it a ‘conspiracy’ and questioning the timing of the petition, which comes over four years after Disha Salian's death.

“Someone is behind it, and there is a conspiracy. Why has this matter come under the spotlight after more than four years? The CID conducted an enquiry, and there is already an SIT (formed to probe the matter),” Pednekar told PTI.

Sushant's father KK Singh expressed his support for the PIL filed by Disha's father saying that it would lead to a clear concludion regarding Disha and his son's death."What he (Satish Salian) has done is right, and if through this we can get a conclusion as to whether it was suicide or murder and find out what happened to Sushant, that would be good," he said.

When asked if Disha's death was, in any way, connected to the death of his son, Singh said,"I cannot say anything, how can I talk about a topic I don't know about".
