New Delhi: Satish Salian, father of late celebrity manager Disha Salian, on Wednesday said that he would continue his fight for justice after the Bombay High Court ordered a CBI probe into his daughter’s death in 2020.
The Bombay High Court on Wednesday directed the CBI to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of Disha Salian, who was the former manager of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
Speaking to IANS, Satish Salian welcomed the court verdict and thanked those who supported his legal battle.
“I expressed my gratitude to the court, and I am grateful to all of you. Because of you all, we got justice. It is because of Nilesh Ojha and his team that I see today’s victory. Just as we are fighting now, we will continue to fight in the future as well,” he told IANS.
He further said that the truth would ultimately prevail and those found responsible would face consequences.
“See, if we are wrong, then tell us we are wrong. If they are wrong, tell them they are wrong. Now, I will say that truth never loses; truth always wins. And I have 100 per cent belief in my lawyer, Nilesh Ojha. Whoever has done this is very wrong. They will suffer for this,” Salian said.
Meanwhile, while pronouncing the order, the court clarified that no individual should be treated as an accused unless the Investigating Officer finds sufficient material against them during the probe.
The order came while hearing a petition filed by Satish Salian, Disha’s father, alleging lapses by the Mumbai Police in the investigation into his daughter’s death.
Speaking to IANS after the order, advocate Nilesh Ojha, counsel for Satish Salian, said the court had directed the CBI to record the petitioner’s statement, register an FIR, appoint a senior officer to conduct the investigation, and take custody of all relevant records from Malvani Police Station.
“The court has made it clear that action must be taken against anyone against whom evidence is found. At the same time, no person should be named as an accused without evidence. It has also clarified that if the CBI files a closure report, we will have the right to object and file a protest petition. We have full faith that truth will prevail.” Ojha told IANS.
