Mumbai Police have issued a notice to Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Nitesh Rane, compelling his appearance on Friday concerning the Disha Salian death case. Salian, once the manager of the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, died in 2020.
Rane has consistently claimed that Salian was murdered. Authorities are requiring him to appear at Malvani Police Station, where he will be questioned about his accusations and any evidence he can submit.
“I have just received the summons and have maintained from the start that this is a murder case. I am ready to cooperate with Mumbai Police. The MVA government tried to cover up and protect Aditya Thackeray and his associates. Any information I have will be shared with the police,” Rane stated. He reiterated his willingness to cooperate with the investigation.
Salian was found dead on June 8, 2020, shortly before Sushant Singh Rajput was also found dead in his Bandra, Mumbai flat. Last year, Mumbai Police formed a three-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate Salian’s death.
Initially, the Mumbai Police had classified the case as an accidental death.
