The Disha Salian Case: Four Years Later, a Father's Unwavering Plea
It’s been four years since Disha Salian, the former manager of Sushant Singh Rajput, tragically died after falling from a Mumbai building. The circumstances surrounding her death have always felt…unsettling. Now, her father, Satish Salian, is demanding a fresh investigation, convinced his daughter was murdered and that a significant cover-up has taken place. He’s taken his fight all the way to the Bombay High Court, and honestly, it's heartbreaking to read about his determination.
A Father's Grief and a Fight for Truth
In his petition, Mr. Salian alleges Disha was "brutally raped and murdered," a horrific accusation. He’s even named Aaditya Thackeray, a Shiv Sena (UBT) leader, in connection with a supposed cover-up. He's asking for an FIR against Thackeray and for the CBI to take over the investigation. This is a stark contrast to a letter he wrote to the police in 2020, where he seemingly supported their investigation and condemned media speculation. What changed? That’s the million-dollar question, and it speaks volumes about the complexities and shifting sands of this case.
The Timeline: Unexplained Disappearances and Lingering Questions
Disha Salian died on June 8, 2020, just days before Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. This proximity alone fueled a lot of speculation. The initial ruling was accidental death, but Mr. Salian’s petition claims the Mumbai Police investigation was deeply flawed, suggesting crucial forensic evidence and witness testimonies were overlooked. The alleged disappearance of key evidence, like CCTV footage and pages from the visitor's register, only adds to the mystery. And the timing of this petition, years after the fact, has obviously sparked huge political debate and accusations of a massive conspiracy.
A Nation Divided: Political Fallout and Public Outcry
The allegations have created a firestorm. Some politicians are calling for accountability, others are dismissing the petition as a politically motivated maneuver. It's become a highly charged issue, with hashtags like #JusticeForDishaSalian and #CBIForDishaSalian trending wildly online. The Bombay High Court will now decide the next steps, potentially opening a whole new chapter in this tragic saga. This case touches upon so much more than just the loss of a young life; it’s about trust in the system, the power of political influence, and a father’s relentless search for the truth.
Where Do We Go From Here?
The Disha Salian case remains incredibly complex and deeply sensitive. Mr. Salian's petition isn’t just about seeking justice for his daughter; it’s a cry for transparency and accountability. His persistent fight raises serious questions about the initial investigation and the potential for political interference. The Bombay High Court’s decision will undeniably shape the future of this high-profile case, and its impact will be felt far beyond the courtroom.
