Tezzbuzz Desk- Disha Salian's death case is once again in the headlines. This six year old case will now be investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation i.e. CBI. Recently, Bombay High Court handed over the investigation of the case to CBI and asked it to register an FIR. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has now reacted on this matter and said that the investigation started very late.
Speaking to the media, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that the investigation into Disha Salian's death started late. Earlier, Mumbai Police had investigated the case and in its report had denied any kind of criminal conspiracy. However, during the hearing of the case, the court raised questions on some aspects of the investigation and also pointed out some shortcomings. After this the investigation was handed over to CBI. Disha Salian's father Satish Salian has been demanding justice for his daughter for the last several years. He has rejected the police suicide theory and expressed confidence in the CBI investigation into the case.
What is the matter of Disha Salian's death?
Disha Salian was a celebrity manager. He died on 8 June 2020 after falling from the 12th floor of a residential building in Malad, Mumbai. Actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his flat on June 14, 2020, about six days after Disha's death.
The theory of a connection between Disha and Sushant's death has been discussed on social media for a long time. However, Mumbai Police's investigation did not reveal any criminal conspiracy in Disha's death. In the initial investigation, the police had registered it as Accidental Death Report i.e. ADR. Later the case was said to be related to suicide.
Disha's father raised questions on police investigation
Disha Salian's father Satish Salian did not accept the police's suicide theory. He says that some influential people may have a role in his daughter's death. He has also expressed suspicion of Disha being murdered.
Satish Salian had approached the Bombay High Court in 2025. He had demanded the court to register an FIR in the case and get the investigation done by CBI. In his petition, he had also demanded action against Shiv Sena leader Aditya Thackeray and others. Aditya Thackeray has denied allegations of any connection with Disha Salian. He has rejected the allegations leveled against him.
Now after the investigation of this case goes to CBI, those aspects related to Disha Salian's death, on which questions were raised earlier, will be investigated. Only after the CBI investigation will it be clear what further facts emerge in the case and in which direction the investigation progresses.
