Celebrity manager Disha Salian's father on Tuesday filed a written complaint with the police commissioner and the joint commissioner, accusing former Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray, officials and Bollywood actors of being involved in her death in 2020.
According to the complaint submitted by Salian's father's advocate, Aaditya Thackeray was involved in the alleged cover-up.

"Today, we have filed a written complaint (FIR) to the CP office, and the JCP Crime accepted it... the accused are Aaditya Thackeray, Dino Morea, Suraj Pancholi and his bodyguard, Parambir Singh; Sachin Vaze, and Rhea Chakraborty are all accused in this FIR. Parambir Singh was the main mastermind for the cover-up in this case. He held a press conference and fabricated lies to save Aaditya Thackeray. All the details are in the FIR. NCB's investigation paper proves that Aaditya Thackeray was involved in a drug business, and that detail has been mentioned in this FIR," he told ANI.
The lawyer further demanded a fresh probe into the death of Disha Salian and the interrogation of Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aditya Thackeray.

"No clean chit has been given. People are running a false narrative. This closure report has no such value before the law. After the closure report, the court can still take cognisance of the murder case, and issue an arrest warrant or order for further investigation. Just like it happened in the case of Aarushi Talwar," ANI quoted Ojha as saying.
