Actor Sooraj Pancholi has clarified his position after his name was linked to the death of Disha Salian, who worked as actor Sushant Singh Rajput\u2019s manager.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In a lengthy statement shared on Instagram, Sooraj said that he had never met Disha Salian or Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray<\/strong>, either directly or indirectly.<\/p>\n

Says it is wrong to drag his name into the case<\/strong><\/p>\n

Calling it wrong to link his name to Disha\u2019s death, Sooraj said that the police and CBI had already recorded his statement around four to five years ago.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He added that he is ready to fully cooperate with the investigating agencies if they want to question him again.<\/p>\n

Sooraj expressed his displeasure on Instagram<\/strong><\/p>\n

In his Instagram post, Sooraj Pancholi said that his name had been repeatedly linked to Disha Salian\u2019s death through various media reports and statements over the past few years. He said he had chosen not to respond to every report, but felt the need to speak after the same claims continued to resurface.<\/p>\n

Says his name was dragged without evidence<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sooraj said that linking his name to the case without any facts or evidence was extremely distressing and unfair. He also appealed that no person\u2019s death should be used to damage someone else\u2019s reputation without conclusive evidence.<\/p>\n

\u2018Headlines and TV debates are not evidence\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sooraj Pancholi appealed to people and the media not to form opinions based on rumours. He wrote, \u201cDo not immediately believe everything you see in the news or on social media. A headline, debate or someone\u2019s statement on television is not evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that behind every name mentioned in television debates is a real person and their family. Sooraj also said that he supports an impartial CBI investigation into the case and has complete faith in the country\u2019s laws and investigative agencies.<\/p>\n

Disha Salian died in 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Disha Salian died on June 8, 2020, after falling from the 14th floor of a building in Mumbai\u2019s Malad area. Six days later, on June 14, Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead at his apartment in Mumbai\u2019s Bandra area.<\/p>\n

The initial investigation into Disha\u2019s death was completed in around three months. In October 2020, police termed her death a suicide. The case was reopened in December 2023, after which an SIT was formed. The SIT also concluded that she had died by suicide.<\/p>\n

CBI registers FIR on her father\u2019s complaint<\/strong><\/p>\n

The case took a fresh turn recently after the CBI registered an FIR based on a complaint by Disha\u2019s father, Satish Salian, along with the statement submitted by him.<\/p>\n

According to Satish Salian\u2019s lawyer, Nilesh Ojha, the FIR and complaint name Aaditya Thackeray, Rohan Rai, Rhea Chakraborty and former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh.<\/p>\n

Following the latest development, Sooraj Pancholi\u2019s name once again surfaced in media reports, prompting the actor to publicly clarify his position.<\/p>\n
