The case of Disha Salian’s mysterious death has taken a new turn as her father demands an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding her tragic demise. Disha, a former celebrity manager, died after reportedly falling from a building in Mumbai in June 2020. Now, Disha’s father has filed an FIR against Aaditya Thackeray, the Shiv Sena leader, accusing him of being part of a cover-up and playing a role in the events that led to his daughter’s death.
In his FIR, Disha’s father has outlined several concerns regarding the investigation carried out by the Mumbai police. He claims that key evidence, such as phone records, CCTV footage, and eyewitness statements, were either disregarded or mishandled. The petition argues that political pressure from the ruling party, of which Aaditya Thackeray is a key member, has hampered a fair and transparent investigation into his daughter’s death.
The father’s decision to file an FIR against Aaditya Thackeray comes at a time when the case is once again drawing public attention, partly due to the ongoing controversy surrounding the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who passed away just days after Disha. Speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the deaths of both individuals have led to widespread calls for a deeper probe into their untimely passings, with many suggesting a connection between the two.
Disha’s father’s legal move is an attempt to push for an investigation that goes beyond the conclusions of the Mumbai police. While the police initially ruled her death as a suicide, the lack of a clear motive, coupled with her reported attendance at a party with associates of Thackeray, has led to suspicions that there may be more to her death than what is currently known.
Aaditya Thackeray has strongly denied the allegations, calling them politically motivated. He has stated that he had no personal relationship with Disha Salian and that he had no involvement in the events leading to her death. Thackeray also expressed his readiness to cooperate with any investigation, reiterating that the case should be left to the authorities to handle.
The political ramifications of the case have only added to the intrigue surrounding it. Disha’s father’s demand for a neutral agency, like the CBI, to take over the investigation reflects a lack of trust in the local police force. Critics of the Mumbai police have pointed out the lack of progress in the investigation, particularly in regard to examining key evidence that could potentially shed light on the circumstances of Disha’s death.
