Aaditya Thackeray Says He Never Met Disha Salian, Calls Linking His Name To Case Character Assassination
Thackeray said he never met Disha Salian and rejected a political smear campaign after the CBI filed an FIR without naming any accused.
- On Wednesday, Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray denied ever meeting Disha Salian, describing repeated attempts to link his name to her 2020 death as a "relentless smear campaign."
- Salian died in June 2020 after falling from a residential building in Mumbai's Malad area; the Mumbai Police and a state-appointed Special Investigation Team previously found no evidence of foul play.
- Observing that the police investigation "raises more questions than answers," the Bombay High Court ordered a CBI probe on September 2, 2026, after six years of inquiry.
- Following the court order, the CBI registered an FIR on September 14 that names no suspects, though Shiv Sena colleague Sanjay Raut alleged the probe is a political conspiracy.
- Stating "I have never met or known Disha Salian," Thackeray rejected what he called malicious distractions, asserting he will continue to "stand by the truth" despite politically motivated character assassination.
