Disha Salian’s Father Expresses Faith in CBI Probe, Seeks Punishment for Accused

Mumbai — Disha Salian’s father, Satish Salian, on Tuesday expressed confidence in the Central Bureau of Investigation’s probe into his daughter’s death, saying he would be satisfied only when those he accuses in the case are punished.

His comments came a day after the CBI registered an FIR in connection with the death of Disha Salian, the former manager of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, following an order from the Bombay High Court.

Satish Salian said he was “fully confident” in the CBI investigation.

“I am at peace that the case has been registered, though I will be happy only when the accused are punished. Aaditya Thackeray, Sooraj Pancholi, Dino Morea, their bodyguards and others accused should be hanged,” he said.

He has also named actress Rhea Chakraborty in the FIR.

Satish Salian reiterated his allegation that powerful and influential people in Mumbai conspired to cover up the circumstances surrounding his daughter’s death. He said he named former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh and former police officer Sachin Waze because he believes they “shielded the other accused.”

“If they had not shielded the accused, they would have been in jail by now,” he said.

Salian has maintained that his daughter’s death was not an accident but a premeditated killing.

“They say that Disha fell from the 14th floor, but looking at Disha’s body, does it seem like that? There were no visible injuries on her body. No one looking at her could say that she had fallen from the 14th floor… evidence regarding this has been submitted,” he said.

Earlier Tuesday, Pancholi said in a social media post that he did not know Disha Salian.

Responding to Pancholi’s statement, Satish Salian said, “We will prove whether he knew her or not.”

Describing what happened after his daughter’s death, Salian said police contacted the family and told them that something had happened at a party attended by Disha.

“After Disha’s death, the police called us and told us that something had happened at Disha’s party, due to which they had taken her to the Malvani Police Station. Only after reaching there we came to know that Disha had died,” he said.

Salian also criticized the Special Investigation Team previously formed to investigate the case.

“They didn’t conduct any probe and were rather busy in protecting the accused,” he alleged. (Source: IANS)
