New Delhi: Mumbai Police on Tuesday formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the death of Disha Salian, the ex-manager of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Malvani police station senior inspector Chimaji Adhav will investigate the case,” an official said, PTI reported.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Ajay Bansal will supervise the probe.
Salian (28) allegedly committed suicide by jumping from a high-rise building in Mumbai on June 8, 2020, leading to a political slugfest.
In last year’s winter session, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who belongs to BJP, had said a Special Investigation Team (SIT) will be formed to probe Salian’s death.
Some leaders have alleged Salian was murdered and sought to drag the name of MLA Aaditya Thackeray, the son of Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, into the case.
Notably, BJP MLC Pravin Darekar last week said several leaders had been demanding for long that an SIT be formed in the case. Prasad Lad, another BJP MLC, had said an SIT would clear all doubts (about Salian’s case).
Asked if an SIT probe has been ordered into Salian’s death, Uddhav Thackeray told reporters that he didn’t have any official information about such an order.
“If anything official comes out, then that day we will reveal the information with us about them. If they level false allegations against us, then we will bring out the true information against them,” the Sena (UBT) leader was quoted as saying in the report, without naming anyone.
