Patna (Bihar) [India]: KK Singh, father of late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, has voiced his support for the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Disha Salian’s father, seeking a probe into her death. Singh expressed hope that this move might help uncover the truth behind both incidents.
“I don’t know his reasons and motivation for moving the court, but what he has done is right, and if through this we can get a conclusion on whether it was a suicide or murder, and in this Sushant’s case can also be known on what happened,” KK Singh told media.
On March 19, Disha Salian’s father filed a petition in the Bombay High Court requesting an investigation into his daughter’s death and calling for the interrogation of UBT Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray.
Singh mentioned that he was unaware of why Salian’s father changed his stance, as he had earlier believed her death was a suicide.
“Before (Disha) Salian’s father had said he doesn’t know anything, it is suicide only, but after that how and what he researched to say it is not a suicide but a murder, that I do not know. If it is true or not how can I say?” said Sushant Singh Rajput’s father.
Singh also refrained from commenting on any possible connection between the deaths of his son and Disha Salian.
“I cannot say anything, how can I talk on the topic which I don’t know about,” he stated.
Expressing trust in the current Maharashtra government, Singh said he believed Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis would ensure the right decisions are made.
“I have hope in the government, the government has changed, and I have hope in the current CM (Devendra Fadnavis), whatever he will do, he will do right and do it swiftly,” Singh added.
Disha Salian, a celebrity manager, was found dead on June 8, 2020. In 2023, the Mumbai Police formed a three-member special investigation team (SIT) to probe her death. The Mumbai Police had registered an accidental death case in the matter.
Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his Bandra residence on June 14, 2020, sparking a nationwide controversy. The investigation was later handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), with his postmortem report from Mumbai’s Cooper Hospital citing asphyxia as the cause of death.
