Maha govt SIT probe into Disha Salian's death; BJP demands narco test on Aaditya Thackeray

Mumbai, December 22: Giving a major blow to Aditya Thackeray as the Eknath Shinde-led-government has announced the Special Investigation Team(STI) on Thursday(December 22) probe into the death case of Disha Salian, the manager of the late Sushant Singh Rajput.

It should be noted that Bharatiya Janata Party MLA including Nitesh Rane, and Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde faction) MLA Bharat Gogavale has been demanding an investigation into the 'death case'. They both raised the issue of Salian’s death in the Assembly, which followed a ruckus inside the house leading to multiple adjournments.

Heeding the legislators’ demands, the Maharashtra government announced the formation of SIT to investigate Salian’s death. “There will be an SIT probe into Disha Salian’s death case. If anyone has any piece of evidence in this matter, they can give it to the Police," said Maharashtra Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis in the State Assembly.

Earlier, speaking to the media outside the Assembly, Rane said Aditya Thackeray should be made to undergo narco tests to clear the mystery shrouding Salian’s death.

“Let the truth about the Disha Salian case come out. The case is still with Mumbai Police and has not yet been investigated by CBI. I’ll request CM to investigate it. The final postmortem report is yet to come and pages of the entire book are yet to be found. Narco test of Aaditya Thackeray must be conducted," said Rane.

Salian, who was Rajput’s talent manager, fell to her death from a highrise building on June 8, 2020, days before the actor was found dead in his house. Soon after several conspiracy theories claimed both Salian and Rajput were murdered, with several BJP leaders (then in Opposition) levelling allegations against Aaditya Thackeray and some other Sena leaders.
