I have never met Disha Salian– Aaditya Thackeray

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Wednesday denied any link to the death of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s ex-manager Disha Salian, two days after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) named him in its FIR in the case from 2020.

In mumbai he said, “I have never met Disha Salian, nor did I have any acquaintance with her,” Aaditya Thackeray said in a post on X to “cut through the noise and talk facts, once again”.He added, “Linking my name to this tragic case constantly is a deliberate, evidence-free attempt at character assassination by a few individuals with clear political and personal motives, for almost 6 years.” He did not name anyone in this post. However, in the past he has accused the ruling BJP-led alliance of dragging him into the matter. Others named in the FIR have also denied any role.

“Let the official re-investigation proceed without malicious distractions and character assassination for political motives,” Aaditya Thackeray added.(UPDATED ON 16TH SEPTEMBER 2026)
