Key Questions Answered
Satish Salian and his lawyer are visiting the CBI office in Mumbai to submit key evidence, which includes a pen drive containing a recorded eyewitness video statement alleging that high-profile individuals, including Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray, were present at the scene on the night of June 8, 2020, along with a list of other witnesses.
Aaditya Thackeray issued a formal legal response rejecting the Rs 500-crore defamation notice in full, refusing to issue an apology, withdraw social media posts, or pay compensation. His legal counsel argued that the September 16 posts on X did not name Satish Salian or contain any actionable imputation referring to him.
Disha Salian, who previously worked as actor Sushant Singh Rajput's manager, died on June 8, 2020, after falling from a high-rise building in Malad, Mumbai. Her death occurred six days before Sushant Singh Rajput's body was found, and while her death was initially recorded as an Accidental Death Report, her family has alleged murder.
