Controversy Intensifies Over Disha Salian's Death: Allegations Against Shiv Sena (UBT)

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam accused rival Shiv Sena (UBT) of maligning Disha Salian's father and alleged a cover-up in her death case. Nirupam called for revealing the truth behind the police closure report. The accusations follow Salian's father seeking a fresh investigation through Bombay High Court.

In a heated press conference on Friday, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam launched severe allegations against the rival Shiv Sena (UBT) faction, accusing them of defaming Satish Salian, the father of the late Disha Salian.

Disha, who was the former manager of the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, died under mysterious circumstances in June 2020, sparking continued controversies. Nirupam demanded the disclosure of the truth behind the Mumbai police's closure report on her death, asserting it contained falsehoods damaging to the Salian family.

The political tension escalates as Salian's father has approached the Bombay High Court for a renewed investigation, implicating prominent figures including Aaditya Thackeray. The case has reignited debates, with former Union minister Narayan Rane claiming Rajput's death was also a murder.
