Disha Salian Death Case: Aaditya Thackeray, Ex-Top Cop Named In New Complaint

Disha Salian's father filed a written complaint with the police commissioner and joint commissioner on March 25, accusing former Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray, several officials, and Bollywood actors of being involved in her death in 2020.

The complaint, submitted by Salian's father's lawyer, claims that Aaditya Thackeray was involved in a suspected cover-up.

Advocate Nilesh Ojha, representing Salian's family, also alleged that Parambir Singh, the former Mumbai Police Commissioner, played a central role in orchestrating the cover-up. The complaint further names actors Dino Morea and Suraj Pancholi.

"Today, we have filed a written complaint (FIR) to the CP office, and the JCP Crime accepted it... the accused are Aaditya Thackeray, Dino Morea, Suraj Pancholi and his bodyguard, Parambir Singh; Sachin Vaze, and Rhea Chakraborty are all accused in this FIR. Parambir Singh was the main mastermind for the cover-up in this case. He held a press conference and fabricated lies to save Aaditya Thackeray. All the details are in the FIR. NCB's investigation paper proves that Aaditya Thackeray was involved in a drug business, and that detail has been mentioned in this FIR," he told ANI.

The lawyer further demanded a fresh probe into the death of Disha Salian and the interrogation of Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aditya Thackeray.

On the Central Bureau of Investigation's closure report on Sushant Singh Rajput's death, the advocate of Disha Salian's father said that the report holds no value before the law and the court can still take cognisance and order further investigation.

"No clean chit has been given. People are running a false narrative. This closure report has no such value before the law. After the closure report, the court can still take cognisance of the murder case, and issue an arrest warrant or order for further investigation. Just like it happened in the case of Aarushi Talwar," ANI quoted Ojha as saying.

Salian, a celebrity manager, was found dead on June 8, 2020, days before Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found hanging in his flat in suburban Bandra, Mumbai. Meanwhile, the Bombay High Court listed the writ petition and will hear the case of Disha Salian on April 2.
