In a major development related to the Disha Salian death case, Satish Salian, father of Disha Salian, has approached the Bombay High Court demanding a fresh probe into his daughter’s mysterious death and seeking the registration of an FIR against Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray. The plea alleges that Disha Salian was raped and murdered, and claims that a politically motivated cover-up was orchestrated to protect influential figures involved in the case. The petition also requests the transfer of the investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), citing a lack of faith in the Mumbai Police's initial investigation.

Petition Alleges Murder and Cover-Up

The petition filed by Satish Salian highlights several alleged irregularities in the Mumbai Police investigation and claims that the case was deliberately closed without considering crucial evidence. "The Mumbai Police hastily closed the case as either suicide or accidental death, without thoroughly analyzing forensic evidence, circumstantial proof, or eyewitness testimonies," the petition reads.

According to Salian, the initial investigation by the Mumbai Police appeared genuine, but with the passage of time, the family realized that critical evidence was deliberately suppressed. The plea suggests that Disha’s death was not an accident, but a premeditated murder and alleges that several influential personalities were involved, leading to a politically motivated cover-up.

Lawyer Confirms Filing Process

Nilesh Ojha, the lawyer representing the Salian family, confirmed that they are in the process of officially filing the petition in the Bombay High Court. "We expect the petition to be numbered in the High Court’s registry department by Thursday," Ojha said, adding that the family is hopeful that the court will take their plea seriously and initiate a fair and unbiased investigation.

Disha Salian’s Death and Link to Sushant Singh Rajput Case

Disha Salian, the former manager of late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, died on June 8, 2020, after allegedly falling from the 14th floor of a residential building in Malad, Mumbai. The Mumbai Police had registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR) and closed the case. However, Salian’s family now claims that the circumstances surrounding her death were highly suspicious and warrant a fresh, independent investigation.

Interestingly, less than a week after Disha’s death, on June 14, 2020, Bollywood star Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Bandra apartment under mysterious circumstances. Although initially ruled as a suicide by Mumbai Police, the case was eventually handed over to the CBI following intense public scrutiny and political pressure.

The petition filed by Satish Salian raises concerns about the possible link between the two deaths, which has been the subject of intense speculation and conspiracy theories over the past few years.

Allegations Against Aaditya Thackeray

The petition also names Aaditya Thackeray, the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader, as a key figure who allegedly had knowledge of the events leading up to Disha’s death. The Salian family claims that influential individuals have obstructed the investigation and shielded the accused to protect their reputation.

The plea insists that an FIR should be registered against Aaditya Thackeray to ensure a transparent and impartial investigation. It further accuses the Mumbai Police of failing to follow proper legal procedures and deliberately ignoring critical evidence.

Mumbai Police’s Investigation Under Scrutiny

The Mumbai Police investigation into Disha Salian’s death had come under severe criticism from several quarters, with allegations of tampering with evidence, ignoring key witnesses, and suppressing facts. Many have alleged that the initial probe was politically influenced, which is why Satish Salian has now approached the Bombay High Court seeking a CBI investigation.

Public Outcry and Demand for Justice

The deaths of Disha Salian and Sushant Singh Rajput triggered widespread public outcry, with millions of people across the country demanding justice and transparency in both cases. Social media campaigns and protests had put immense pressure on the authorities to hand over Sushant’s case to the CBI, which subsequently took over the investigation.

However, Disha’s case had remained in the shadows, with no significant progress being made, prompting her family to move the Bombay High Court for a fresh investigation.

Implications of the Petition

The petition filed by Satish Salian is expected to reignite the controversy surrounding the deaths of Disha Salian and Sushant Singh Rajput and could potentially expose new angles in both cases. If the High Court orders a fresh investigation or directs the CBI to probe the matter, it could lead to a major breakthrough in the long-standing case.

Next Steps in Legal Proceedings

Legal experts suggest that the Bombay High Court may first consider the admissibility of the petition and then decide whether to issue notices to the Mumbai Police, CBI, and Aaditya Thackeray. If the court finds merit in the allegations made by the Salian family, it could order a thorough reinvestigation into the case.

Awaiting High Court’s Response

With the petition likely to be numbered in the High Court’s registry department soon, all eyes are now on the Bombay High Court’s next move. The Salian family is hopeful that the court will intervene and order a fair and transparent probe to bring justice for Disha and expose the truth behind her tragic death.
