Case Summary
Disha Salian, a 28-year-old former manager of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, died on June 8, 2020, after falling from a high-rise building in Malad, Mumbai. Police initially registered an accidental death and suggested suicide, but her family and supporters alleged murder, fueling speculation of a link with Rajput's subsequent death on June 14. Doubts about the investigation, including missing phone records and claims of political interference, led to public outrage. In 2021, the Maharashtra government reopened the case and formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT). The case remains unresolved, with no charges filed, and continues to be a focal point for conspiracy theories.
Status or Result
No trial has taken place. The case remains under investigation by the Maharashtra SIT since 2021, and no suspects have been charged.
Key Disputes
Whether Disha Salian's death was suicide or murder; the alleged connection between her death and Sushant Singh Rajput's death; the initial handling of evidence by Mumbai Police; claims of a cover-up involving influential figures.
Social Impact
The case captured nationwide attention, intensified scrutiny on Bollywood's alleged drug and nepotism nexus, and became entangled with political narratives. It fueled a media trial and public demand for a CBI inquiry, echoing the SSR death case controversy, and deepened public distrust of the Mumbai Police.
