Mumbai Police Summon BJP MLA Nitesh Rane in Disha Salian Death Case

Mumbai: The Special Investigation Team of the Mumbai Police, on Thursday, summoned BJP MLA Nitesh Rane in the Disha Salian murder case and will be recording his statement. Officials asked Rane to share any information he had about the former manager of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. 

Disha was found dead on June 8, 2020, on the premises of the building she was residing in Malad in the northern part of the metropolis.

The SIT letter to Rane was sent by Malwani police station senior inspector Chimaji Adhav, who is probing the case, the official said. 

Rane has been asked to remain present before the investigation officer (IO) to share information, if any, about Salian's death, he said.

 "Rane can come as per his time and to avoid any inconvenience, he has been asked to call Adhav before making his way to Malwani police station," the official said quoting the letter. 

As per police, Salian (28) allegedly committed suicide by jumping from a high-rise building in Malad. The SIT was formed in December last year. 

Rajput (34) allegedly hanged himself in his Bandra home on June 14, some days after Salian's death.
