Aaditya Thackeray denies knowing Disha

Amid the renewed developments in the case, Aaditya Thackeray earlier this week publicly denied ever knowing or meeting Disha Salian.

“Let’s cut through the noise and talk facts, once again: I have never met or known Disha Salian,” Thackeray said in a post on X.

He described attempts to link him to the case as a deliberate, “evidence-free” campaign of character assassination motivated by political and personal considerations and called for an impartial investigation.

CBI registers FIR

The CBI recently registered an FIR following a Bombay High Court order directing a fresh investigation into the circumstances surrounding Disha's death. While the FIR refers to several people whose roles are to be investigated, no person has been named as an accused at this stage.

Disha Salian, 28, died on June 8, 2020, after falling from the 14th floor of a residential building in Mumbai's Malad area.
