The lawyer of Disha Salian's father has filed a case with the Mumbai Police, accusing Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray, a former top cop, and others in his complaint. In the complaint, the lawyer said that he named Aaditya Thackeray, actors Dino Morea and Suraj Pancholi and his bodyguard, former top cop Parambir Singh, dismissed Mumbai police officer Sachin Vaze, and Rhea Chakraborty.
“Today, we have filed a written complaint (FIR) with the Commissioner of Police (CP), and the Joint Commissioner of Police Crime has accepted it. The accused in this FIR are Aaditya Thackeray, Dino Morea, Suraj Pancholi and his bodyguard, Parambir Singh, Sachin Vaze, and Rhea Chakraborty,” Salian’s lawyer, Nilesh Ojha, said.
Accusing Parambir Singh of being the mastermind of the celebrity manager's death case, the lawyer said, “Parambir Singh was the mastermind behind the cover-up in this case. He held a press conference and fabricated lies to protect Aaditya Thackeray. The NCB's investigation papers prove that Aaditya Thackeray was involved in the drug business, and this detail has also been mentioned in the FIR.”
He added that all the details are in the FIR submitted to the Mumbai Police.
Earlier, the lawyer claimed there were eyewitnesses who had seen actors Aditya Pancholi and Dino Morea and Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray and his bodyguards gang-raping the celebrity manager.
The allegations by Disha's father, who has approached the Bombay High Court with a fresh petition seeking a probe into her death, have become the latest flashpoint between the ruling Mahayuti and the Shiv Sena (UBT).
Disha, a former manager of the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, died on June 8, 2020, after falling from a high-rise in Mumbai. Police then registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR) case.
Disha's death is being probed by an SIT constituted by the government in 2023.
In his petition, Disha's father claimed that on June 8 his daughter organised a party at her home that was attended by Aaditya Thackeray, and actors Sooraj Pancholi and Dino Morea.
Aaditya Thackeray has denied all the allegations, calling them baseless.
He claimed that the allegations were an attempt by the BJP to tarnish his reputation. "It has been ongoing for the past 5 years. If the matter is in court, I will respond in court," the Worli MLA said on Thursday.
