What is the Disha Salian case?
Disha Salian was the manager of the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. What was the case surrounding her death, and what is the case status now? We explain.
BJP MLA Nitesh Rane also demanded that a narco test be conducted on Aaditya Thackeray, leader of the Sena faction under Uddhav Thackeray, to “bring out the truth” behind Salian’s death.
Thackeray later told reporters outside the Assembly that the issue had been raised to “protect” the Chief Minister, referring to the row over the regularisation of land of the Nagpur Investment Trust, for which Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has come under Opposition attack.
What is the case and what has the official investigation revealed so far?
Disha Salian, 28, was a celebrity manager, whose clients included the late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput and actor Varun Sharma. Around a week prior to Rajput’s death by suicide on June 14, 2020, Salian reportedly died by suicide, on June 8, 2020.
As per procedure, the local police had taken an Accidental Death Report (ADR) in the matter as the post-mortem did not reveal any foul play.
