The Bombay High Court ordered a CBI probe into Disha Salian's June 2020 death following a petition filed by her father, Satish Salian, seeking a fresh investigation. The court directed the CBI to register an FIR and record Satish Salian's statement while noting that the earlier probe raised questions.
Sooraj Pancholi stated that he has never met Disha Salian or Aaditya Thackeray, directly or indirectly, and has nothing to do with the case. He expressed willingness to face any thorough investigation and demanded transparency.
Satish Salian sent a Rs 500-crore defamation notice to Aaditya Thackeray over social media posts. Thackeray's legal counsel formally responded by rejecting the allegations, refusing to issue an apology or withdraw the posts, and arguing that the notice failed to identify any imputation specifically referring to Satish Salian.
