Numerous reports were recently doing the rounds that late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's former manager Disha Salian, who had died by suicide, was raped and murdered, and that her dead body was found naked by the police. A senior official has now denied all the rumours in a formal statement.

"This is to clarify that the reports of Disha Salian's body being found naked is false. After the incident, Police immediately reached the spot and did 'panchnama' of the body. Her parents were at the spot. Disha had made last call to her friend Ankita whose statement has been recorded. Statements of 20-25 people recorded so far," the official reportedly mentioned. Disha Salian took her own life less than a week before Sushant's death. She had jumped off the 12th floor of a building in Mumbai's Malad on June 9. BJP MP Narayan Rane had claimed that Disha had not died by suicide, but was, in fact, raped and murdered. According to a report by a news agency, Rane said that based on Disha's autopsy reports, injury marks were found on her private parts. He also alleged that the Maharashtra government officials were trying to 'save the culprits' in Sushant and Disha's cases.

Responding to his statements, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut stated, "A BJP leader has alleged that Disha Salian was raped and murdered by throwing her down a building. This is most insensitive towards her grieving family members."
