No foul play, Disha Salian committed suicide: Police tell Bombay HC

Former celebrity manager Disha Salian committed suicide and no foul play has been found in her death, the Mumbai police have submitted to the Bombay High Court, even as her father Satish Salian reiterated she was gangraped and murdered. Disha Salian had jumped off the window of a flat out of her own volition, and the postmortem report mentions no signs of sexual and/or physical assault on the deceased, the police said in an affidavit filed before the HC last month. She was under tremendous mental stress due to a dispute with her family and also because her business deals were not working out, the affidavit added.

Disha Salian, who had managed several high-profile clients, including actor Sushant Singh Rajput, died on June 8, 2020, after falling from the 14th floor of a residential building in Mumbai’s Malad area. The Mumbai Police had initially registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR) in the case.

The Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) demanded an apology from Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and other Mahayuti leaders after the Mumbai Police SIT ruled out foul play in the Disha Salian case.Party spokesperson and MP Sanjay Raut said that everyone, including Fadnavis, deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde and Nitish Rane, should apologise to Aditya Thackeray.
