Sushant Singh Rajput's ex-Manager, Disha Salian, passed away on June 8, 2020. Almost five years later, her father, Satish Salian, claimed that his daughter didn't commit suicide and was murdered. The father has made the claims after stating that there were no injuries on her body consistent with falling from the 14th floor of a building.

Disha Salian's father, Satish Salian, claims his daughter was raped and murdered

Satish Salian sat for an interview with Republic Media Network's Editor-in-Chief, Arnab Goswami, where he made the shocking revelation about his daughter, Disha's death. Advocate and petitioner in Disha's case, Nilesh Ojha, also stated how Satish has had his doubts for a long time as there was no blood on Disha's clothes or the floor despite the deadly fall. He also revealed how there were no injuries on the body, head, or face, which should be present in such a case. Satish Salian stated:

"Looking at the investigation, I think it was a murder. There were no injuries that should occur when a body falls from such a height. We should notice how there were no injuries on her body after falling from such a height and how it was so clean."

Nilesh further added that the post-mortem report mentioned a head injury and multiple injuries which were not visible on Disha's body at the time of her last rites. According to a report by PTI, Satish claimed that his daughter was brutally raped and murdered, and there was a politically-arranged cover-up involved to protect certain influential people.

Satish Salian reveals why he made a different statement in 2022

In the same conversation, Arnab asked Satish why he took a different stance on the case back in 2022. Responding to the same, Satish explained that there was no pressure on him to make such a statement, but he was manipulated to the point he believed whatever the police told him. When asked if he doubted the police's role in the case, Satish stated that he initially believed them when they told him it was suicide as he thought they were telling the truth.

Advocate Nilesh Ojha further added that Satish becomes emotional whenever he speaks of his daughter. In an affidavit, it has been mentioned that Satish was in the psychological virtual custody of Rohan Rai (Disha Salian's fiance) and Aaditya Thackeray's associates. It was also shared that Mayor Kishori Pednekar visited him and pressured him to file a complaint against Nitesh Rane and Narayan Rane if he wanted his daughter's image to remain untarnished.

He also stated that details have been kept confidential and will be submitted to the High Court in a sealed envelope.
