India Today has exclusively accessed WhatsApp texts from one of Disha Salian’s close friends, that reveal exactly what happened on the night she died. Disha had reportedly jumped off or fallen off a 14th-floor building in Malad, Mumbai on June 9. Disha’s death is being linked to that of Sushant Singh Rajput’s, who died of suicide on June 14. Disha also briefly worked as Sushant’s manager.

As per the messages accessed by India Today, Disha Salian was partying with her friends and fiancee, and after consuming a considerably large amount of alcohol, she felt depressed and said no one cares for anyone anymore. A friend present at the party asked Disha to stop being a party pooper and after that, she went inside her bedroom and locked herself in. Sometime later when she didn’t answer the knocks, her fiancee and friends pushed opened the door and found that she had fallen off the balcony and ran downstairs. She was alive when the group went downstairs and they rushed her to the hospital where she was declared dead. This detail is part of a message shared by Disha’s close friend who had spoken to one of the friends present at the party. This message has also been shared on the college friends WhatsApp group which Disha was a part of, and upon verification, the police found the facts to be true.

Disha Salian, former manager working for a talent management company, who also handled late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s account, died on June 9 after reportedly jumping off or accidentally falling from the 14th-floor residence of her fiancee in Malad. Five days after Disha’s death, Sushant died of suicide.

Since then, there have been multiple theories connecting the two deaths, with some conspiracy theories claiming that the two had been murdered. BJP MP Narayan Rane even went on record and claimed that Disha had been “raped and then murdered” and there were some big names from Maharashtra politics and Bollywood involved. Rane went to claim that Disha had informed Sushant Singh Rajput about her rape and since then, he was being threatened by the same group which eventually went for a party at Sushant’s house on June 13, and the next day, he was found dead.

A message shared by Disha’s close friend with India Today tells a completely different story and rubbishes the claims of Rane and also other such theories.

The message reads:

“Her fiancee Rohan, Himanshu from college and two of her childhood best friends Neel & Deep along with Neel’s new girlfriend were there.

This is Rohan and Disha’s house that Rohan bought because they were going to get married and move in.

She was having fam issues and usual fights with Rohan but nothing way too major with him.

4 days ago she moved to Malad to this house.

Yesterday everyone came over and they got drinking.

She had a lot to drink and started crying saying things like “nobody cares about each other anymore” and stuff.

Friends say she would get emo after drinking often.

She called my friend Jeevita at 8 pm and spoke casually about post lockdown plans.

At midnight, she video called with her friend in the UK and said the same things.

Then she was crying and Himanshu was like kya party pooper ban rahi hai types.

Next thing you know, she’s gone to the room, locked the door and turned the tap on.

They presumed she’s throwing up.

Then they kept calling out to her and no response so they broke in and she wasn’t there.

Himanshu and Deep looked down and saw what happened and ran. By the watchman already called the cops.

Her heart was still beating but the body was dismantled (14th floor) and they picked her up and put her in Deep’s car and went to 3 hospitals all refused to take.

4th hospital allowed and declared dead.

Now Covid tests are on – if negative, after a post-mortem they’ll give the body to the family.

Meanwhile, all 4 boys are under custody but at home with cops.

Rohan is getting badgered.

Disha’s family is livid because they knew of their fights and stuff.

And everyone is in disbelief because nobody would imagine she would.”

Disha’s parents who have been distraught since her death are presently even more in pain as media theories and politicians have been claiming that she was raped, then murdered and that she was pregnant. The family is being hounded, and following which they have written to Mumbai police seeking action against the politicians, media and social media influencers involved in running these conspiracy theories.

Mumbai police also said that Sushant had met Disha only once in the past and when she died he had messaged her name to his lawyer asking who she was as he didn’t remember her. Her death being and she being linked to Sushant had added to Sushant’s depression as it happened a day after Rhea left his residence and went back to her residence.
