Sooraj Pancholi Denies Connection to Disha Salian Death After CBI FIRPreviousNext

Actor Sooraj Pancholi has publicly denied any connection to the death of Disha Salian following the CBI's registration of an FIR in the case. He stated he has never met Salian or Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray, whose names appear in the FIR. Pancholi emphasized he has been questioned by investigators years ago and expressed willingness to cooperate further. He described the repeated linking of his name to the case as upsetting and urged reliance on evidence, supporting a thorough investigation.
