Mumbai, March 19 (NationPress) The debate over the enigmatic death of Disha Salian, who previously managed late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, has reignited. This case, which has drawn considerable attention, has taken a dramatic turn following a court petition filed by Disha's father, alleging sexual assault and murder.
The petition is scheduled for a court hearing on Thursday and raises significant concerns regarding Aditya Thackeray, the son of former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. This matter is also expected to be addressed in the state Assembly, amplifying the scrutiny on Aditya Thackeray, who previously served as a Maharashtra minister.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Maharashtra minister Nitesh Rane has been outspoken regarding the case from the outset. He launched a fierce critique against Aditya Thackeray, declaring, "I have maintained from the beginning that this was a murder and necessitates a thorough investigation. The involvement of Aditya Thackeray must be examined. I have persistently called for an inquiry into the names now mentioned by his father in the petition. His father has now filed this petition, demanding a new investigation, explicitly stating that the police attempted to shield the son of the then Chief Minister, Aditya Thackeray."
Rane further stated, "Now we will see what it truly means to undergo an investigation. Those who were protecting him will have to speak up. Disha's father has accused Aditya Thackeray of gang rape and murder, and is demanding a new inquiry." He reiterated that he has believed from the start that this is a case of murder requiring investigation and that Aditya Thackeray's involvement needs to be scrutinized.
As the investigation progresses, the pressure on Aditya Thackeray is poised to increase, especially with new information surfacing and potential political ramifications for the Shiv Sena leader. This case continues to be one of the most debated and controversial incidents in Maharashtra's recent history.
Meanwhile, a significant development in the Disha Salian case has occurred, as her father, Satish Salian, has filed a petition in the Bombay High Court demanding legal action against several high-profile individuals, including former Maharashtra minister and Shiv Sena UBT MLA Aditya Thackeray, former Mumbai Mayor Kishori Pednekar, and others.
Satish Salian is seeking the court to initiate charges under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) against those accused. The sections cited include 376(D) (gang rape), 302 (murder), 201 (causing disappearance of evidence), 218 (public servant framing incorrect record), 409 (criminal breach of trust by a public servant), 166 (public servant disobeying law), 107 (abetment), 109 (abetment of an offence), 120(B) (criminal conspiracy), and 34 (acts done by multiple persons in furtherance of a common intention).
Additionally, Satish Salian has requested that the investigation be transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for a comprehensive and unbiased inquiry.
In light of the legal proceedings, enhanced police protection has been deployed outside Satish Salian's home. This increased police presence aims to avert any potential incidents and ensure safety in the wake of the petition filing. A substantial police force has been stationed around the premises to maintain peace.
Furthermore, Satish Salian has urged the police and media to respect his privacy during this crucial time, expressing his inability to engage with the media and requesting that his personal space be honored as he is not prepared to provide any statements or partake in public dialogues.
