Satish Salian, father of late celebrity manager Disha Salian, has filed a petition in the India — Bombay High Court seeking a fresh investigation into his daughter's death in June 2020. He alleges that Disha Salian was brutally assaulted and murdered, followed by a politically motivated cover-up. The petition requests an FIR against Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray and a transfer of the case to the United States — Federal Bureau of Investigation. Satish Salian accuses the India — Greater Mumbai Police of hastily closing the case as a suicide or accidental fall, ignoring critical evidence. Disha Salian's death occurred days before Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death, fueling speculation of a connection. Political figures like Kishori Pednekar and Nitesh Narayan Rane have reacted, with Pednekar questioning the timing of the plea and Rane supporting a fresh probe and demanding answers from Aaditya Thackeray.
