Lawyer Submits New Evidence to CBI in Disha Salian Death Investigation

New Evidence

Advocate Nilesh Ojha stated on Saturday that new proof has been submitted to the Central Bureau of Investigation in the death case of Disha Salian. Ojha represents Satish Salian in the matter and claims that past allegations regarding a cover-up and the condition of the body are now being proven true. The newly obtained material includes a report given to the Home Ministry.

Official Actions

The submitted report shows that former police officer Sachin Vaze was brought back into service on June 5, 2020, and placed in the Crime Intelligence Unit. Ojha alleged this appointment broke existing rules because Vaze held a lower rank than the Police Inspector level required for that unit. He claimed Vaze was brought back quickly to carry out a conspiracy involving Disha's death, a cover-up, extortion, and the drug trade.

Legal Demands

All these points and details were handed over to the central agency on Saturday along with three major demands. The legal team plans to approach the High Court with a new petition asking for the immediate questioning of the accused in custody and demanding that the ongoing probe be monitored directly by the court.

Context

Disha Salian passed away after falling from the 12th floor of a residential building in Malad during the early hours of June 9, 2020, and previously worked briefly with actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Local police initially recorded the incident as an accidental death due to suicide, and a state-appointed Special Investigation Team later reached the same conclusion in December 2023 with no evidence of foul play.
