In a significant development, Aditya Thackeray, a Member of the Legislative Assembly from Shiv Sena (Yuva), has approached the Bombay High Court with a request for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into the mysterious deaths of actor Sushant Singh Rajput and his former manager, Disha Salian. Thackeray has urged the court not to pass any orders on the public interest litigation (PIL) seeking a CBI investigation without hearing his side.

The Background

On October 13th, through his lawyer Rahul Arote, Aditya Thackeray claimed that the PIL was not maintainable, citing that the government agencies were already investigating the case. This move comes in response to a PIL filed earlier this year by Rashid Khan Pathan, the President of the ‘Supreme Court and High Court Litigants Association of India,’ demanding the immediate arrest and interrogation of Thackeray regarding the “mysterious” deaths of Disha Salian and Sushant Singh Rajput.

As of now, the PIL for the public interest litigation has not been presented in the High Court. Arote stated, “We have filed an interim application, requesting that our side should be heard before any orders are passed. We have contended that the PIL is not maintainable, as the CBI is already investigating the Sushant Singh Rajput case.”

The Legal Conundrum

Thackeray’s argument hinges on the question of how an order can be passed on a public interest litigation when a government agency is already actively investigating the case. The PIL specifically calls for the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to interrogate Thackeray and submit a comprehensive investigation report on the matter.

Sushant Singh Rajput’s Tragic Demise

Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his suburban Bandra apartment on June 14, 2020. His former manager, Disha Salian, met with a fatal accident after falling from the 14th floor of a residential building in Malad on June 8, 2020.

The actor’s untimely death sparked nationwide outrage and prompted multiple investigations, including the one conducted by the CBI. With Aditya Thackeray’s recent legal move, the case takes another twist.

Conclusion

As the legal proceedings unfold, the controversy surrounding the deaths of Sushant Singh Rajput and Disha Salian continues to capture the nation’s attention. The demand for a CBI investigation has grown louder, and Aditya Thackeray’s request for the court to hear his side adds a new layer of complexity to the case. It remains to be seen how the court will address this matter.
