Sooraj Pancholi denies links to Disha Salian as CBI begins investigation

Sooraj Pancholi has denied ever meeting celebrity manager Disha Salian after his name was linked to the CBI investigation into her death.

Pancholi said, “For the last few years, my name has been dragged into the controversy surrounding the unfortunate demise of Late Disha Salian through various media reports and statements. I want to say this out loud and very clearly! I have never met Late Disha Salian in my life, directly or indirectly. I have also never met Aditya Thackeray in my life!”

Calling the reports “very unfair and extremely upsetting”, Pancholi said there was “no evidence or proof” connecting him to the matter.

He added, “I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE! If any investigating agency feels that they need to question me again or require any further information from me, I am completely willing to cooperate and make myself available for any investigation.”

Pancholi said he supports a “fair and thorough CBI investigation” and concluded: “I have faith in the law. I have faith in the investigating agencies. And I have faith that ultimately, the truth will come out.”

Salian died in June 2020 after falling from a building in Mumbai. The CBI has launched a fresh investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death.
