The Disha Salian case is back in focus after the CBI registers a fresh FIR and begins a new investigation following the Bombay High Court’s order. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray breaks his silence, saying he never met or knew Disha Salian. He describes the repeated linking of his name to the case as an attempt at “character assassination” and calls for the fresh investigation to proceed without political distractions.

The Disha Salian death case has taken a major turn after the Central Bureau of Investigation registered an FIR following the Bombay High Court’s direction for a fresh probe. The development comes after the Bombay High Court questioned the Mumbai Police investigation, which had treated Salian’s death as an accidental death for six years. The court pointed to what it described as discrepancies and said the investigation raised questions that remained unanswered.
