The circumstances surrounding the death of Disha Salian, former manager to actor Sushant Singh Rajput, have come under renewed scrutiny following fresh allegations regarding administrative actions taken in June 2020. Disha Salian died in the early hours of June 9, 2020, around 2:25 AM, after falling from the 12th floor of a residential building. While local police initially concluded that the incident was a suicide and stated that no evidence of foul play had emerged, subsequent inquiries, including one by a state-appointed Special Investigation Team, likewise reported finding no indications of foul play. However, recent legal submissions have brought a new dimension to the longstanding controversy.
Home Ministry Document and New Allegations
Advocate Nilesh Ojha, acting on behalf of Disha's father Satish Salian, stated on Saturday, October 3, that newly emerged records substantiate concerns raised by the family from the beginning. According to Ojha, a report submitted to the Ministry of Home Affairs concerning the reinstatement of former police officer Sachin Waze contains critical details that warrant immediate judicial attention. He maintained that the corroborating paperwork aligns with the family's earlier assertions, suggesting that developments that unfolded just days prior to Disha's death were not merely procedural coincidences but required deeper scrutiny.
Protocol Breaches in Crime Intelligence Unit Posting
Focusing on the specific contents of the Home Ministry report, Ojha pointed out that Sachin Waze was reinstated into active police service on June 5, 2020, with immediate effect. Following that decision, Waze was promptly posted to the Crime Intelligence Unit. Ojha alleged that this assignment directly violated established service norms and operational guidelines. Under administrative protocols, an assignment within the Crime Intelligence Unit required an officer holding the rank of Police Inspector. Ojha emphasized that Waze did not meet the rank criterion and held a junior standing, yet established regulations were bypassed to secure his posting.
Submission of Materials to the Central Bureau of Investigation
The legal counsel contended that the procedural deviations surrounding the appointment pointed toward a broader coordinated conspiracy. Ojha alleged that the irregular placement was carried out to facilitate an orchestrated cover-up, claiming it intersected with Disha's death as well as extortion operations, illicit narcotics rings, and other unlawful undertakings. To ensure an independent assessment of these claims, Nilesh Ojha confirmed that the complete set of documents, official findings, and related representations was formally handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation on Saturday, October 3, urging the agency to review the entire sequence of events.
