Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray says ‘Attempt to malign me’ amid allegations by Sushant Singh Rajput’s manager Disha Salian’s father ‘Will respond in court’

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.

The mysterious death of Disha Salian, former manager of late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, has taken a dramatic turn as her father, Satish Salian, on Wednesday, filed a petition in the Bombay High Court for a fresh investigation.
