The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed its closure report on Disha Salian's Death Case, days after filing its final report on Sushant Singh Rajput's death case. As per reports, CBI did not find any foul play in Sushant Singh Rajput's death, and hence, Rhea Chakraborty and others accused in the case were not linked to any crime. Notably, Disha Salian, former manager of Sushant Singh Rajput died 6 days before the actor. While at first her death was termed as accidental by falling from a building on the 14th floor, 5 years later, Disha Salian's father Satish came forward. He accused former Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray's Son Aditya Thackeray and others of being involved in the case.
In the meanwhile, CBI also filed its closure report in Disha Salian's case and yet again it has ruled out any conspiracy angle but has unraveled some truths.
What did the CBI say about Disha Salian's death?
Disha Salian fell from the 14th floor of a Malad tower on June 8, 2020, six days before the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, with whom she had worked as a celebrity manager. Investigations revealed that she was under immense stress due to professional and personal reasons.
Talking about professional stress, Disha had been employed at Cornerstone Company and was reportedly struggling with stalled projects.
In terms of personal, Disha was also under stress due to her father’s alleged affair and financial mismanagement. As per the investigation, Disha Salian had lent her father money for business purposes, but it was instead spent on a female employee at his spice manufacturing unit. This betrayal left her deeply upset, a fact she had confided in close friends, including her fiancé, Rohan Roy.
Did CBI give a clean chit to Aditya Thackeray in Disha Salian case?
Advocate Nilesh C Ojha, the legal counsel of Disha Salian's father, Satish Salian, said that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has not given a clean chit to Shiv Sena (UBT) leader. Ojha was quoted by a newswire saying, "There is no closure record in the Disha Salian murder case. There was a closure report in 2021, but the government then recalled it, and the case was reopened after recording Disha's father's statement on December 11, 2023. SIT is also investigating it. In the actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death case, the closure report was submitted to the court and the CBI issued a press note that they have not conducted any investigation into the Disha Salian murder case. CBI has also issued no clean chit to Aaditya Thackeray. The court did not accept the closure report in the Sushant Singh Rajput's death case."
What happened on June 8, 2020?
Disha had hosted a gathering at her Malad apartment to celebrate her friends Indranil Vaidya and Deep Ajmera’s birthday. The party, which included her fiancé and childhood friends, involved music and alcohol. Later in the night, around 11:45 PM, she received a call from a friend in London and appeared visibly distressed. Shortly after, she locked herself in a bedroom. When her friends checked on her, they discovered she had fallen from the building.
Disha was rushed to multiple hospitals, including Evershine Nursing Home, Tunga Hospital, and eventually Shatabdi Hospital, where she was declared dead. Her body was kept for two days due to COVID-19 protocols before an autopsy was performed at Bhagwati Hospital. The post-mortem report confirmed multiple injuries consistent with a fall from a great height, with no signs of assault.
