The petition came up for hearing on Wednesday before a bench headed by Justice A S Gadkari, which posted it for further hearing on July 16.The Malvani police, who probed the case first, in their affidavit, however, said Disha Salian had committed suicide.Disha Salian was under tremendous mental stress due to a dispute with her family and also because her business deals were not working out, said the affidavit filed by Malvani police station’s senior inspector Shailendra Nagarkar.She was drunk at the time of the incident, and even her fiance, who was with her at the time, had ruled out any foul play or suspicion, it said.”I say that in the light of the circumstances and witness statements, the deceased Disha Salian out of her own volition jumped off the window of the flat and died by suicide,” the police officer said in the affidavit.Even her postmortem report does not indicate anything suspicion about the death, the affidavit said.The police also said the contentions raised by Satish Salian in his plea were baseless and unfounded.The closure report filed by the police was based on scientific investigation conducted and the postmortem report, they added.”The report is conclusive in nature and mentions no signs of sexual and/or physical assault on the deceased,” the affidavit said.It also claimed that after the closure report was filed, a Special Investigation Team was set up to further probe the case and even the SIT’s findings are coherent with the earlier findings of the police.”However, further investigation is still being carried out,” the affidavit said.
