CBI Receives Pen Drive in Fresh Disha Salian Death Probe
Disha Salian died after falling from a Mumbai building in June 2020.
Her father and his lawyer have given investigators a pen drive with evidence they want examined.
It reportedly contains videos, photographs, witness statements and digital material.
The lawyer says one video includes a person describing what they allegedly saw.
He has made serious accusations against several people, including Aaditya Thackeray, Sooraj Pancholi and Dino Morea.
These accusations have not been proven in court.
Thackeray and Pancholi deny knowing Salian or being connected to her death.
The CBI has begun a fresh investigation after being directed by the Bombay High Court.
Investigators and courts will decide whether the material supports further action.
Disha Salian’s father Satish Salian and advocate Nilesh Ojha submitted a pen drive to the CBI.
The material reportedly includes videos, photographs, witness accounts, phone conversations and other digital evidence.
Ojha alleged that the evidence implicates Aaditya Thackeray, Sooraj Pancholi and Dino Morea, but these claims have not been established.
Ojha also cited alleged inconsistencies in witness Naved Mujawar’s accounts about the incident, police arrival and Salian’s clothing.
The CBI is reinvestigating Salian’s 2020 death after registering an FIR following directions from the Bombay High Court.
