'What he did is right': Sushant Singh Rajput's kin on PIL filed by Disha Salian's father

PATNA: Late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's father, KK Singh, on Thursday endorsed the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) lodged by Disha Salian's father requesting a thorough investigation into his daughter's demise, while expressing optimism that both cases could reach a definitive resolution.
"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 said.
Disha Salian's father approached the Bombay High Court on March 19, filing a petition that demanded an investigation into his daughter's death and requested questioning of UBT Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray.
In response, Singh expressed uncertainty about the motivations behind Salian's father's legal action, noting that previously, the father had concurred with the assessment that the death was a suicide case.
"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?" Sushant Singh Rajput's father added.
He declined to make any remarks about a potential link between his son's death and Salian's passing, stating "I cannot say anything, how can I talk on the topic which I don't know about."
Singh also said that he had hope from current Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and believs that he would take the right decision.
"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," the actor's father said.
Celebrity manager Disha Salian's death occurred on June 8, 2020. Following this incident, in 2023, the Mumbai Police established a three-member special investigation team (SIT) to investigate the circumstances surrounding her demise. The authorities documented the case as an accidental death.
On June 14, 2020, Bollywood actor Sushant Rajput was discovered lifeless at his residence in Bandra, sparking significant public interest. The investigation was subsequently transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation. The postmortem examination, performed at Cooper Hospital in Mumbai, concluded that asphyxia was the cause of death.
