Aaditya Thackeray (L) denied meeting Disha Salian (R), calling allegations a false campaign
It also seeks examination of the role of police and public officials in the handling of the case.
The statement comes after the CBI registered an FIR in the 2020 death of Disha Salian following a September 2 Bombay high court order directing a probe into the case.
In his post, Thackeray called for the investigation to be conducted afresh without interference or political intervention and said the inquiry should be impartial. The FIR mentions Aaditya Thackeray, Dino Morea, Sooraj Pancholi, Rhea Chakraborty and several others among those whose roles require investigation. The probe followed allegations by Salian’s father, Satish Salian, who had approached the Bombay high court seeking a murder investigation and alleging lapses in the handling of the case. The court had pointed to discrepancies in the investigation and ordered the CBI probe. Meanwhile, allegations made by Salian’s father’s lawyer that she had information about alleged illegal activities involving Thackeray and had shared it with Sushant have not been established by the investigation. The CBI investigation is now expected to examine documents, record statements of police personnel involved in the initial inquiry, inspect the scene and question key witnesses, besides conducting forensic and technical analysis.
