New Delhi (ILNS): The Supreme Court today refused to entertain a plea filed by advocate Puneet Dhanda who sought a court monitored CBI investigation into the death of Bollywood Actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s former manager Disha Salian. The court asked him to approach the Bombay High Court. 

The petitioner claimed that the deaths of Disha Salian and Sushant Singh Rajput are interconnected as they occurred under suspicious circumstances.

“Why don’t you go to Bombay High Court? They know the case and they will take an informed decision and then you may come here if there is any difficulty,” said the bench headed by CJI S. A. Bobde, and Justices A. S. Bopanna & V. Ramasubramanian.

Earlier, on October 12, the case was heard. According to the petition,”…after the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, various rumours and conspiracy theories have been linked between the deaths of Disha Salian and Sushant Singh Rajput, because both died in suspicious circumstances and at the peak of their successful professional career.”

Disha Salian, 28, died on June 8 after falling from the 14th floor of a residential building in Malad (West), Mumbai.

A few days later, on June 14, the 34-year-old actor was found hanging from the ceiling of his apartment in Bandra, Mumbai. The Mumbai police was initially investigating the case of Sushant’s death.

Later in August, the Supreme Court handed it over to the CBI. The petition said that if the apex court is not satisfied with the Mumbai police after observing the investigation report then it should be transferred to CBI.

New Delhi (ILNS): The Supreme Court today asked the petitioner seeking a court-monitored investigation into the death of Late actor Sushant Ringh Rajput’s former manager Disha Salian’s to approach the Bombay High Court. The top court, however, also adjourned the day’s hearing to October 12, because of the non-availability of the arguing counsel.

The bench comprising Chief Justice S. A. Bobde and Justices A. S. Bopanna and V. Subramanainan was hearing the plea filed by Puneet Kaur Dhanda through advocate Vineet Dhanda. The petition also seeks a direction to Mumbai Police to place on record the report of the investigation in the alleged suicidal death of Salian. It has been reported that her case file is missing or has been deleted.

Dhanda has further urged the court that if, on perusal, something unsatisfactory is found in the investigation report of Mumbai Police, the case should be transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Salian died on June 8 after falling off the 14th floor of a residential building (Regent Galaxy) in Mumbai’s Malad West. 

The petitioner has argued that the deaths of Salain and Rajput, who died a week later, are interconnected and hence the same must be investigated.
