Shiv Sena MLA Aaditya Thackeray Files PIL Seeking CBI Probe into Sushant Singh Rajput and Disha Salian’s Deaths

In a recent development, Shiv Sena MLA Aaditya Thackeray has filed a Public Interest Lawsuit (PIL) with the Bombay High Court, requesting a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) investigation into the deaths of actor Sushant Singh Rajput and his former manager Disha Salian.

Thackeray, in his application submitted through attorney Rahul Arote on October 13, argued that the PIL should be deemed “unmaintainable” as a state investigation was already in progress. This move comes after a PIL submitted in September by the Supreme Court & High Court Litigants Association of India, represented by its president Rashid Khan Pathan, demanded that Thackeray be detained and questioned regarding the “mysterious” deaths of Disha Salian and Sushant Singh Rajput.

Responding to these claims, Arote stated, “We have filed an intervention application saying we should be heard before any order is passed. We have said the PIL is not maintainable as the investigation in Sushant Singh Rajput’s matter is already ongoing by the CBI.”

Arote further questioned the validity of passing any orders in a PIL when the state apparatus is actively conducting an investigation.

The PIL submitted by Thackeray calls for a CBI investigation into the matter and requests a comprehensive investigation report. Disha Salian tragically lost her life on June 8, 2020, when she fell from the 14th floor of a residential building in the Malad area. An Accidental Death Report (ADR) was filed with the city police in connection to the incident.
