What father of Disha Salian, former manager of Sushant Singh Rajput, said 'My daughter was brutally raped and murdered,' seeks probe into her 2020 death

Satish Salian, father of Disha Salian, former manager of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, on Wednesday said he has moved the Bombay High Court seeking a fresh probe into the mysterious circumstances under which she was found dead in June 2020.

The petition urges the HC to order registration of a First Information Report against Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray and transfer of the probe to the CBI, he said.

A Sena (UBT) spokesperson, however, wondered why the matter was suddenly under the spotlight after four years, and suspected a conspiracy. Notably, the Budget session of the Maharashtra legislature is currently underway.

He has alleged in the plea that his daughter was brutally raped and murdered, and there was a politically-orchestrated cover-up to protect certain influential persons, reported PTI. Satish Salian’s lawyer Nilesh Ojha said they would have the petition numbered at the HC registry department on Thursday.

Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister Shweta Singh Kirti has been seeking justice ever since the untimely demise of his brother in 2020. Recently, in another attempt to ask for an update from the CBI, Shweta released a video statement last year. In her statement, she urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene in the CBI probe regarding her actor-brother’s death case. She expressed that even after 45 months of the unfortunate death of her brother, his family does not have any update from the investigating agency.
