NEW DELHI: Maharashtra Minister Nitesh Rane has announced that Disha Salian’s father has taken legal action, alleging his daughter was murdered with involvement from Aaditya Thackeray, Dino Morea, and Suraj Pancholi. The case has gained attention as the allegations were made officially in court through a petition to the Mumbai Joint Commissioner of Police.
Rane emphasized that Salian’s father’s allegations carry more weight as they were made officially in court, distinguishing them from political statements.

“Disha Salian’s father wants justice, and he went to the Court for this. Whatever I say or any other leader says is different because our statements are taken as political views. Her father said that my daughter was murdered and Aaditya Thackeray, Dino Morea and Suraj Pancholi were involved in this. This is not a political allegation. He neither said this in a press conference nor in front of the chief minister, he went to the Court and said this officially. Now, the Court has to decide what is to be done,” Rane stated.
28-year-old Disha Salian, former manager of Sushant Singh Rajput, died on June 8, 2020, after falling from the 14th floor of a residential building in Malad. Her death came just six days before Rajput was found dead at his Bandra residence on June 14, according to police reports.
Her father, Satish Salian, has filed a complaint with Mumbai’s Joint Commissioner of Police, seeking the registration of a case against Aaditya Thackeray and others allegedly linked to her death. In his petition to the High Court, he claimed that “Disha was raped and murdered, and there was a politically-orchestrated cover-up to protect certain influential persons.”
The petition demands an FIR against Thackeray and calls for the investigation to be transferred to the CBI. The Bombay High Court is expected to hear the case in early April. Meanwhile, Aaditya Thackeray has stated that he will respond to the allegations in court.
