On March 19, Satish Salian, the father of Dilsha Salian, urged the CBI to probe into his daughter's death in 2020. Dilsha, who was the former manager of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, passed away on June 8, 2020, after falling off the 14th floor of her apartment building, just a few days prior to Rajput's death. While it was first assumed to be suicide, Satish now alleges foul play behind his daughter's death.

In a recent conversation with ANI, Rajput's father, KK Singh, expressed support for the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Satish. "I don't know his reasons and motivation for moving the court, but what he has done is right and if through this we can get a conclusion on whether it was a suicide or murder, and in this Sushant's case can also be known on what happened," Singh said.
Singh said he was not aware of why Disha's father decided to approach the court now, as Satish had earlier agreed that the death was by suicide after the initial investigations. "Before (Disha) Salian's father had said he doesn't know anything, it is suicide only, but after that how and what he researched to say it is not a suicide but a murder, that I do not know. If it is true or not how can I say?"

When asked whether he believed there was any connection between his son's death and Disha's, Singh replied, "I cannot say anything, how can I talk on the topic which I don't know about."
Singh's father also expressed strong trust in the Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis to judge the highly public case wisely. He said, "I have hope in the government, the government has changed, and I have hope in the current CM, whatever he will do, he will do right and do it swiftly."
