Disha Salian case: Father of Sushant Singh Rajput’s former manager seeks probe into her death after nearly 5 years

The petition urged the court to order registration of an FIR against Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray and transfer of the probe to the CBI, he said. Satish's lawyer Nilesh Ojha said they were still in the process of filing the petition, and would get it numbered at the HC registry department on Thursday.

The plea alleged that Disha was brutally raped and murdered, and subsequently, there was a politically-orchestrated cover-up to protect certain influential persons. The petitioner initially believed that the probe conducted by the city police was genuine, but has now learnt that it was a cover-up, it said. "The Mumbai police hastily closed the death as a case of suicide or accidental death without taking into account forensic evidence, circumstantial proof and eyewitness testimonies," the plea said.

A Shiv Sena (UBT) spokesperson wondered why the matter was suddenly under the spotlight after four years and suspected a conspiracy. The party spokesperson, Kishori Pednekar, suspected a conspiracy behind Satish's plea.
