Five years after the tragic death of Disha Salian, former manager of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, her father has approached the Bombay High Court, seeking the registration of an FIR against Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray and others. Thackeray has dismissed the allegations, claiming they are part of a political ploy by the BJP-led government to malign his image. He has vowed to present his case in court.
The Night of June 8, 2020: A Mysterious Death
On the night of June 8, 2020, a party was in full swing on the 14th floor of a building in Malad, Mumbai. The city’s elite had gathered for what seemed to be an ordinary social event, but by 1:00 AM, the atmosphere changed drastically. Reports indicate that chaos erupted as people rushed downstairs after Disha had allegedly fallen from the balcony. When authorities arrived, she was declared dead.
While initial reports suggested that Disha’s death was a suicide, multiple inconsistencies in the case have led to serious doubts. Her father’s recent petition has reignited questions about the circumstances of her demise, alleging that it was not an accident but a premeditated murder.
Allegations and the Demand for a CBI Investigation
In his plea to the Bombay High Court, Disha’s father has made grave allegations, including claims of rape and murder. He contends that after the crime, a political cover-up was orchestrated to protect influential individuals. To ensure an impartial investigation, he has requested that the case be transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
The petition reportedly includes substantial evidence, enclosed in a sealed envelope submitted to the court. Legal representatives claim that if the envelope is opened, it could lead to the arrest of multiple individuals, including high-profile politicians and business figures. The court has been urged not to make the evidence public at this stage to prevent those involved from tampering with the case.
Connection to Sushant Singh Rajput’s Death
The case has taken a new dimension with claims that Disha’s death is linked to the tragic demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The actor was found dead under mysterious circumstances in his Mumbai residence just six days after Disha’s passing. His death was also initially labeled as a suicide, but multiple theories suggest that he was silenced for knowing too much.
Some reports indicate that in his final days, Sushant had confided in close friends about his safety concerns. It is alleged that he was aware of events surrounding Disha’s death and feared for his own life. This has led many to speculate that his death was not self-inflicted but rather an orchestrated crime meant to bury the truth about Disha’s case.
Tampering of Evidence and Missing Witnesses
A major factor fueling suspicions is the alleged destruction of key evidence. According to Disha’s father, CCTV footage from the night of the incident was either erased or went missing. Additionally, critical eyewitnesses, including the security guard on duty that night, have reportedly disappeared.
Disha’s father also questions how someone could fall from the 14th floor without suffering visible external injuries. Reports suggest that her body was found unclothed, further deepening suspicions of foul play. Despite these alarming inconsistencies, authorities had initially closed the case, citing a lack of evidence.
Political Interference and Manipulation of Investigations
Disha’s father has alleged that political figures actively tried to suppress the investigation. He claims that soon after her death, politicians intervened to prevent media coverage and influenced the police to close the case quickly. A statement was even issued at the time, urging the public and media to respect the family’s privacy, which he now believes was an attempt to silence them.
Although a Special Investigation Team (SIT) was later formed, Disha’s father has expressed distrust in the agency. He argues that the SIT consists of individuals who were initially involved in covering up the case and that only a fresh, independent probe can uncover the truth. He has also requested that the case be transferred outside Maharashtra, citing fears that powerful figures could manipulate the judicial process.
Political Fallout and Legal Implications
The allegations have triggered a political storm in Maharashtra, with opposition leaders demanding transparency and accountability. Aaditya Thackeray has denied any involvement, calling the accusations a political conspiracy aimed at tarnishing his reputation. He has stated that he will fight the case legally and expose the truth in court.
From a legal standpoint, the petition holds significant weight. If the court orders an FIR, it could lead to arrests and a full-fledged CBI investigation. The case could also have long-term ramifications for Maharashtra’s political landscape, especially if key politicians are implicated.
Awaiting Justice
As legal proceedings unfold, the demand for justice for Disha Salian and Sushant Singh Rajput continues to grow. The coming weeks will be crucial as the Bombay High Court deliberates on the petition and whether to order a fresh investigation. If new evidence emerges, it could potentially change the course of the case and bring long-awaited closure to both families.
For now, all eyes remain on the judiciary and investigative agencies to determine whether the truth will finally come to light
