Four and a half years after Disha Salian’s alleged mysterious death, the issue resurfaced in the state legislative Assembly on Thursday, sparking a heated debate, disruptions, and even a brief adjournment. A day after Disha’s father, Satish Salian, moved court seeking an FIR against Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray and others, BJP MLA Ameet Satam demanded an inquiry and action against those named in the petition before the high court.

Satam pointed out that a Special Investigation Team (SIT) was formed in December 2022 to probe the case. “When will the inquiry be completed, and findings made public?” he asked. Fisheries and Port Development Minister Nitesh Rane went a step further, demanding immediate arrests of those mentioned in the petition. As arguments escalated, ruling party MLAs raised slogans, forcing Speaker Rahul Narwekar to adjourn proceedings for ten minutes.
