Thu Mar 20 07:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Disha Salian Death Case Reopened: CBI Probe Demanded, Political Tensions Rise
**Mumbai, March 20, 2025** – The death of Disha Salian, former manager of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, is once again under scrutiny. Her father, Satish Salian, has filed a petition in the Bombay High Court demanding a fresh CBI investigation into his daughter’s death. This has sparked intense political debate in Maharashtra.
The petition reignites accusations of foul play surrounding Salian’s death, with BJP leaders adopting a strongly critical stance. However, Shiv Sena MLA Sanjay Gaikwad, seemingly aligned with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, defended Aditya Thackeray, implying that previous investigations cleared him of any involvement. Gaikwad stated that no political figures were implicated in the CID investigation and that those with evidence should have presented it earlier.
NCP MLA Amol Mitkari criticized the timing of the petition, questioning the delay. He further urged that politicians avoid politicizing the issue, arguing it distracts from more pressing matters facing Maharashtra. Mitkari also called for the filing of sedition charges against one Prashant Koratkar.
The renewed focus on the Salian case highlights the continuing political sensitivity surrounding the death, three years after the initial investigations concluded. The case’s reopening promises further investigation and heightened political rhetoric in the coming weeks.
