Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis had ordered an SIT investigation in the last winter session. Now, on the orders of the home minister, the SIT is about to be formed. In fact, many MLAs had also made a similar demand of the government.

Reacting to the talk on the formation of an SIT to probe the death of Disha, her father Satish Salian said that some people were claiming that it was he who had said that his daughter had been murdered. "This is wrong, I never claimed that my daughter was murdered. She accidentally fell because of which she died. Disha did not commit suicide nor did anyone murder her. However, police are investigating this matter, so I cannot say much," Satish Salian said.

In the case of Disha's death, Malwani Police have registered an accidental death report and are investigating it.
