Satish Salian, father of Disha Salian, the former manager of late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, has made explosive allegations regarding his daughter's death. In a recent interview, he accused authorities of pursuing a cover-up and claimed that she was murdered. This has reignited discussions surrounding the high-profile deaths of both Disha and Sushant.
Disha Salian, 28, tragically died on June 8, 2020, after reportedly falling from a high-rise building in Mumbai’s Malad area. Just days later, on June 14, 2020, Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai residence, prompting widespread speculation about a possible connection between the two deaths.
Satish Salian has now approached the Bombay High Court, demanding a new investigation into Disha's death and calling for scrutiny of Aaditya Thackeray, the son of former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, alleging his involvement in both cases. His lawyer stated that they are in the process of filing a petition that urges the court to handle this matter with seriousness, as it involves potential political implications.
“The Mumbai police hastily closed Disha’s case as a suicide or an accidental death without properly investigating,” remarked Nilesh Ojha, Salian's lawyer. He noted that the petition also highlights potential eyewitness testimonies that were overlooked and emphasizes the need for forensic evidence to be appropriately analyzed.
In previous statements, Satish has claimed that there were no injury marks on Disha's body when it was discovered, further fuelling his belief that she did not commit suicide. “How can this be possible that no injuries were found on the head and face when a body fell from the 13th floor?” he questioned during his interview with Arnab Goswami, Editor-in-Chief of Republic TV.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which previously looked into Sushant's death, ruled that Disha's death was accidental, stating that she had fallen from the parapet of her flat while intoxicated. However, these determinations did not quell the theories surrounding the events that led to her death. BJP leader Narayan Rane had earlier alleged that Disha was raped and murdered, suggesting Sushant was aware of this and was threatened by the same individuals involved.
Satish's fresh allegations now place additional pressure on the already complex narrative surrounding the unfortunate events. He has expressed frustration at how the investigation was managed, stating, “I always believed the police were conducting a legitimate probe, but now I fear it was a cover-up to protect influential persons.”
Notably, the official post-mortem report of Disha Salian, which surfaced months after her death, indicated that she was found without clothing, raising further concerns about the circumstances of her passing. Subsequent inquiries revealed discrepancies, such as the timeline that suggested her post-mortem was conducted two days after her death, an aspect that alarmed both the family and the public.
“Since I learned of these disturbing facts, I have been committed to seeking justice on my daughter’s behalf,” said Satish Salian, expressing his resolve to fight for what he believes is the truth behind the shocking incidents. His assertions have echoed widely, garnering attention and support in media discussions.
As his legal battle unfolds, many observers are asking how far political figures may be involved in the fate of both individuals. Facing mounting scrutiny, Aaditya Thackeray has been called upon to clarify his role, with comments from politicians like Nitesh Rane accusing him of “trying to escape the truth.” The silence from Thackeray’s camp has only intensified public curiosity and suspicion regarding the ongoing investigation.
The allegations made by Satish Salian have sparked public debates across various platforms, including social media, igniting a renewed interest in the cases. Activists and concerned citizens alike are advocating for changes in how high-profile cases are investigated to ensure transparency and accountability.
As tensions regarding the case continue to rise, it remains to be seen how authorities will respond to the demands for an independent inquiry. The ongoing legal proceedings initiate a critical examination of not only the events surrounding Disha's death but also the implications of political influence in the judicial processes of such sensitive matters.
Ultimately, Satish Salian's determination to seek justice embodies a broader demand for accountability in cases that involve public figures and potential repercussions that extend into the political realm. With every public statement, he is urging that the truth be revealed and justice be served.
