Sushant’s ex-manager Disha Salian passed away five days before him and had the people wondering if the duo’s death were linked.

Earlier today, CBI concluded her case and quoted as per Economic Times, “Since serious allegations were levelled in the Salian matter and claims were made that the two deaths were linked, as Salian had briefly worked for Rajput, her death has been probed in detail. The investigation has revealed that Salian had been organising get-togethers at her residence in the run-up to her birthday. The party on June 8th night was part of it. However, that night, Salian, who had consumed alcohol, lost her balance and slipped from the parapet of her flat.”
