Disha Salian's father writes to Mumbai police on the rape and murder accusations

Sushant Singh Rajput's former manager, Disha Salian's father Satish Salian, in a letter to the Mumbai Police has said that stories of her daughter being raped and murdered are false. Continuing further, he has mentioned that media persons were harassing his family by repeatedly questioning their faith in Mumbai Police and their way of inquiry into her death. Her father in his letter to police said his family does not suspect any foul play in her death and they are satisfied with the investigation conducted by the Mumbai Police. Satish Salian, who mentioned Naigaon, Dadar, in central Mumbai as his address in the letter, said he had already submitted a written complaint at the Malvani police station and the ACP’s office on July 13 against “derogatory” posts and forwards being shared by people that defamed his deceased daughter and his family.

According to the official, in his letter he alleged that “news about her (Disha’s) involvement with any politician or attending parties with big names of the film fraternity, rape and murder are all stories cooked up by media people just to sell it to channels and these stories hold no truth.” He also requested the police to take action against the journalists, influencers, politicians and media concerned for their insensitive act towards his family, the official said. According to police, Disha Salian, 28, allegedly committed suicide by jumping from a high-rise building in Malad area here on June 8. An accidental death report (ADR) was registered in connection with Disha Salian’s death at Malvani police station. Disha died around 2 am on June 9, but the post-mortem was conducted two days later, on June 11. The delay in conducting the post-mortem has now being questioned.
