Mumbai Police forms SIT to probe death of Sushant Singh Rajput's ex-manager Disha Salian

Mumbai Police has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) on Tuesday to investigate the death of Disha Salian, the former manager of the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. According to reports, Senior Inspector Chimaji Adhav from Malvani police station will lead the investigation, with Deputy Commissioner of Police Ajay Bansal overseeing the probe.

The circumstances surrounding Salian's death led to political controversy, with the BJP, then in opposition, accusing the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government of suppressing the matter. In the winter session last year, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, a BJP member, announced the formation of an SIT to investigate Salian's death.

The SIT investigation is anticipated to reveal additional information, bringing forth various reports and evidence. Some leaders have raised suspicions of murder in Salian's case and attempted to implicate MLA Aaditya Thackeray, the son of Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray. Last week, BJP MLC Pravin Darekar emphasized the long-standing demand for an SIT in the case, stating that it would dispel doubts. When questioned about the SIT probe into Salian's death, Uddhav Thackeray expressed a lack of official information and stated that if any official details emerge, they would be disclosed. He warned against false allegations and asserted that the truth would be revealed in response to any unfounded claims."
