Disha Salian Death Case: Father Satish Salian Seeks Life Imprisonment or Death Penalty for Those Responsible

The investigation into the death of Disha Salian, the former manager of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, has taken another turn after her father, Satish Salian, reportedly submitted a statement to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

According to the material provided for this report, Satish Salian has made serious allegations about the circumstances surrounding his daughter’s death and called for the strictest punishment for anyone ultimately found responsible.

The development comes after the Bombay High Court reportedly directed the registration of an FIR and a fresh CBI investigation into the case.

Disha Salian’s Father Demands Strict Punishment

In his statement to the CBI, Satish Salian has reportedly sought severe punishment for those he alleges were responsible for his daughter’s death.

He has demanded either life imprisonment or the death penalty for those found guilty, according to the report.

The demand reflects the family’s continued pursuit of a detailed investigation into what happened to Disha in June 2020. However, any criminal liability will have to be established through the investigation and subsequent legal proceedings.

Names Submitted to the CBI

Satish Salian has reportedly provided investigators with a list of individuals whom he alleges were connected to the incident or to an attempted cover-up.

The names mentioned in the supplied report include politician Aaditya Thackeray, actors Dino Morea and Sooraj Pancholi, and individuals described as their associates or bodyguards.

The statement also reportedly names former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh, actor Rhea Chakraborty and former police officer Sachin Waze in connection with allegations concerning the handling of the case.

Being named in a complaint or statement does not establish criminal wrongdoing. The allegations will have to be examined by investigators, and each person’s role, if any, would need to be supported by evidence.

Sooraj Pancholi Responds to the Allegations

Actor Sooraj Pancholi has reportedly responded after his name surfaced in connection with the case.

According to the supplied report, Pancholi said that he had never met Disha Salian and denied having any connection with the case. He also objected to being linked to the investigation without evidence and said that he would cooperate with the CBI.

His response highlights the distinction between being named in an allegation and being formally accused or found guilty of an offence.

CBI Probe Brings Fresh Focus to 2020 Death

Disha Salian died in Mumbai in June 2020 after falling from a high-rise building. Her death initially came under an Accidental Death Report.

The circumstances surrounding her death subsequently became the subject of public speculation and various allegations, particularly following Sushant Singh Rajput’s death days later.

The latest CBI proceedings are expected to examine the available evidence and the circumstances of Salian’s death afresh.

What Happens Next in the Disha Salian Case?

The CBI will now have to assess the allegations, statements and evidence available to investigators. If the investigation uncovers evidence of criminal wrongdoing, further legal action could follow in accordance with the law.
