Bombay HC to hear Disha Salian death case on April 2
Mumbai, March 22: The Bombay High Court will hear a petition filed by Satish Salian, father of the late Disha Salian, on April 2. The petition seeks the registration of an FIR against Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray and others in connection with Disha’s death. However, Aaditya Thackeray has categorically denied all allegations and claims related to the case.
In his petition, Satish Salian alleges that his daughter hosted a party at her residence on June 8, 2020, which Aaditya Thackeray and actors Sooraj Pancholi and Dino Morea attended.
He claims that there are unanswered questions regarding the circumstances of her death and has requested the court to direct authorities to register an FIR and conduct a thorough investigation.
A copy of the petition has also been served to former Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officer Sameer Wankhede through the advocate representing Satish Salian.
Wankhede’s lawyer, Advocate Faiz Merchant, has said that his client will submit a detailed affidavit in the High Court, addressing all points raised in the petition and offering clarifications regarding his role in the case.
As part of the legal proceedings, Wankhede is expected to present key evidence collected during his official investigation, specifically related to Rhea Chakraborty and Aaditya Thackeray.
Sources indicate that Wankhede’s affidavit, prepared before the filing of the petition, was circulated in the media and contains serious allegations that could potentially implicate several high-profile individuals.
The court is expected to review the case in light of Satish Salian’s plea, focussing on concerns surrounding the events leading up to Disha’s death. The outcome of the hearing could mark a significant turning point in the case.
Disha Salian, who was a former manager of the late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, died on June 8, 2020, after allegedly falling from the 14th floor of a high-rise building in Mumbai. At the time, the Mumbai Police registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR).
Six days later, Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Bandra residence. While the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) took over the actor’s death probe, an SIT (Special Investigation Team) was constituted by the Maharashtra government in 2023 to investigate Disha’s death.
Meanwhile, the Shiv Sena has demanded a CBI investigation into Disha Salian’s death. Party legislators have called for a probe into the role of former Mumbai Mayor Kishori Pednekar, questioning whether undue pressure was exerted on Disha’s family.

Family members of Unnao rape survivor, activists protest outside Delhi HC against Sengar’s bail

New Delhi, Dec 26: The family members of the Unnao rape survivor, along with women’s rights activists, on Friday staged a protest outside the Delhi High Court against the suspension of the sentence of Kuldeep Sengar, who was convicted in the Unnao rape case. The demonstrators raised slogans and expressed anger over the court’s decision to grant him conditional bail.
Protesters gathered near the court premises, holding placards and chanting slogans such as “Peedit rahe asurakshit aur balatkari kare aish? Humein nahi manzoor,” in support of the survivor and demanding strict action against the convicted former MLA. The protesters said the decision had “shaken public faith and sent a wrong message regarding crimes against women”.
Speaking to Media, the survivor’s mother said she still had faith in the justice system and the Supreme Court.
“If the Public Prosecutor stands with me and supports my lawyer, and if the CBI Public Prosecutor also takes a firm stand, there is hope. Honestly, I do not have much faith in the CBI, but I do have faith in the Public Prosecutor. I trust the Supreme Court and will keep knocking on its doors,” she said.
She further added that the bail should be cancelled and demanded the strictest punishment for the guilty.
“Any MLA, irrespective of religion or caste, who commits such a crime against a girl or a minor should be given capital punishment. That is all we want. I believe we will get justice,” she said.
Social activist Yogita Bhayana also criticised the system, stating that the survivor had been failed at multiple levels.
“First, she was raped and then gang-raped by a powerful person. It was not an ordinary criminal, but someone with influence. When a powerful person is involved, the system is often manipulated. It is very unfortunate that someone like Mr Sengar, who was extremely powerful, managed to get relief,” she said.
Bhayana added that activists would continue their fight for justice.
“We are seeking relief, and we should get it. If we do not get relief here, we will approach the Supreme Court,” she said.
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday suspended the jail sentence of Sengar.
A bench comprising Justices Subramonium Prasad and Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar granted him bail, directing him to furnish a personal bond of Rs 15 lakh along with three sureties of the same amount.
