Disha-SSR Cases Linked? The 10 Burning Questions That Remain Unanswered

New Delhi: Five years after Disha Salian’s tragic death, her father, Satish Salian, has made explosive claims while speaking to Republic, alleging that his daughter was murdered and linking her death to Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput (SSR). He has also knocked on the high court's door, demanding an investigation into the role of Aaditya Thackeray, Shiv Sena leader and son of Uddhav Thackeray, in both cases. Breaking his silence, Satish Salian has dismissed the suicide theory, insisting that Disha was killed. 

His claims have reignited the debate over her mysterious death, raising fresh questions about its possible connection to SSR’s demise. Republic has been at the forefront of the investigation, raising key concerns that remain unresolved to this day.

 The 10 Burning Questions That Remain Unanswered

1. How Did Disha’s Body Land 25 Feet Away from the Building’s Base?
Reports suggest that Disha fell from the 14th floor of her apartment complex, but forensic experts question how her body was found nearly 25 feet away from the base of the building. Was she pushed, or did something else happen?

2. Why Does Her Father Say There Were No Injury Marks?
Satish Salian has now stated that there were no visible external injury marks on Disha's body, contradicting the official post-mortem report. If she fell from such a height, why were there no significant external injuries?

3. Why Was Disha Salian’s Post-Mortem Delayed for Over 50 Hours?
In most cases, a post-mortem is conducted within 24 hours. However, in Disha’s case, it was inexplicably delayed for over two days. What caused this delay, and was there an attempt to manipulate findings?

4. Where Was the Blood at the Impact Site?
Eyewitness accounts and preliminary reports suggest there was an unusual absence of blood at the spot where Disha allegedly fell. This raises doubts about whether she actually fell from the 14th floor.

5. How Did CCTV Footage Vanish from the Day Before to the Day After Disha’s Death?
CCTV footage in the area reportedly went missing from the night of June 8, 2020—the day of Disha’s death—until the following day. Why did the footage disappear, and who was responsible?

6. Did Disha Salian Fall During Her Last Call or End Her Life After It?
Reports suggest that Disha was on a call moments before her death. Did something happen during that conversation that led to her fall, or was the call made after the alleged incident?

7. Why Did Cops Take Two Days to Conduct Disha’s Autopsy?
Just like the delay in the post-mortem, the autopsy itself was conducted two days after her death. Why was the procedure postponed?

8. Why Was There No Video Recording of Disha’s Autopsy?
In high-profile cases, autopsies are often video-recorded for transparency. However, in Disha’s case, no such recording exists. Was this an oversight, or was it intentional?

9. Was Any VIP in the Area the Night Disha Salian Died?
There have been speculations about the presence of influential individuals at the time of Disha’s death. Was a VIP present that night, and if so, why hasn’t this been investigated further?

10. Why Did Param Bir Singh Declare the Case as Suicide in Just 55 Days?
Then-Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh declared Disha’s case a suicide within 55 days. Given the unanswered questions and inconsistencies, was this conclusion rushed to shut down further inquiry?

What Are Disha Salian’s Father’s Explosive Claims?

Satish Salian has drawn a direct link between the death of his daughter, Disha Salian, on June 8, 2020, and the passing of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput (SSR) just six days later, on June 14.

‘Disha Did Not Commit Suicide, She Was Killed’

In an exclusive conversation with Republic Media Network, Satish Salian dismissed the suicide theory, claiming that his daughter was murdered. He firmly stated, "Disha did not commit suicide, she was killed."

Raising further doubts about the official narrative, Satish Salian alleged that Disha’s body showed no injury marks despite falling from the 13th floor of a building in Mumbai’s Malad area. 

He questioned, "When a body falls from such a height, there have to be injury marks. But my daughter's body had none."

Disha Salian Death Case

Disha Salian, a former manager of Sushant Singh Rajput, was found dead on June 8, 2020, after allegedly falling from a high-rise in Mumbai. She was 28 years old.

Her death, occurring just days before Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise, led to widespread speculation about a possible connection between the two cases.

In December 2022, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe Disha Salian’s death.
