Nearly five years after the demise of celebrity manager Disha Salian, her father Satish Salian has sought the Bombay High Court's intervention for a fresh probe into her death.


Satish Salian recently filed a written complaint with the Mumbai Police Commissioner seeking the registration of an FIR against Worli legislator Aditya Thackeray and others accused in connection with the case, news agency ANI reported. As per his advocate Nilesh Ojha, the complaint had been accepted by the Joint Commissioner of Police. The accused in the case, include Aaditya Thackeray, former Commissioner of Police Parambir Singh, Officer Sachin Vaze and actor Aditya Pancholi.


As per ANI, Satish Salian claimed that he was misled earlier, prompting him to believe that his daughter had died by suicide. He also claimed that former Mumbai Mayor Kishori Pednekar had paid him a visit.


"Kishori Pednekar (former Mumbai Mayor) had visited me at my residence. She told me that the media is showing incorrect things about my daughter, which is not good. She said that they have come to put an end to it. I was being told that this was suicide and nothing else. Police told me that they have her phone call records, places where she went and people she met. So, I was misled, that there was no false play, that it was a suicide," Satish Salian stated, according to ANI.

Disha Salian died on June 8, 2020, six days before her client and actor Sushant Singh Rajput allegedly died by suicide in his apartment in Bandra.

This development came on the heels of the CBI reportedly submitting a closure report in Rajput's death case.
