Sushant Singh Rajput death case: Aaditya Thackeray moves Bombay HC before the PIL verdict

The entire nation was left in shock after the sudden demise of Bollywood heartthrob, Sushant Singh Rajput. However, his passing away also raised a lot of questions, which haunt his fans to this day.

Now, in a recent development in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, Shiv Sena MLA Aaditya Thackeray has moved the Bombay High Court, requesting to be heard before any order is passed in a public interest litigation. The PIL has asked for a CBI probe into the connection between the deaths of the Shuddh Desi Romance actor and his former manager Disha Salian.

Aaditya Thackeray moves Bombay HC

Aaditya Thackeray has filed an intervention application through advocate Rahul Arote. The application alleges that the PIL is non-maintainable given that the CBI has already conducted a probe into the Sushant Singh Rajput death case and the Supreme Court is also seized of the matter. The application suggests that no order can be passed in the matter by the High Court. The details regarding the application were revealed by advocate Rahul Arote.

For the unaware, the ‘Supreme Court & High Court Litigants Association of India’ had filed a PIL through its president, Rashid Khan Pathan. The Public Interest Litigation asked for an immediate arrest and custodial interrogation of Aaditya Thackeray in connection with the untimely deaths of Disha Salian and Sushant Singh Rajput.

Additionally, the PIL has further requested for the state government to commence contempt proceedings against the CBI officials who allegedly disregarded the specific directions from the Supreme Court in the earlier cases. The PIL is yet to come up for hearing.

Sushant Singh Rajput and Disha Salian’s sudden demise

Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead under mysterious circumstances in his apartment in Bandra on 14 June, 2020. The Mumbai police initially filed an Accidental Death Report case. However, Sushant Singh Rajput’s father K K Rajput later lodged a complaint, claiming that his son’s then girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty and her family members are responsible for his ‘suicide’.

Later on, the case was given to CBI and their investigation is presently underway.

A week before the actor, Disha Salian died after falling off the 14th floor of a residential building in suburban Malad. The incident was reported on 8 June, 2020.
