Speaking to a popular news magazine, Sooraj Pancholi, whose name surfaced in the Disha Salian murder case, says he has never met Disha and any of the people whose names have been circulating on Whatsapp. He also reveals a man named Puneet who is at this dirty game of implicating him in the crime. Read on, “I will tell you where it started from. A person, who is called Puneet Vashisth, posted this on Facebook. Puneet Vashisth is an actor. He has done a couple of films. I keep seeing him in Juhu because I used to live there earlier. I mean even if you cross Juhu every afternoon or evening you’ll see him outside next to the Marriott hotel or whatever, roaming around. So basically this gentleman has written a big article on his Facebook page. Okay, this entire the Disha story, Sushant story where my name was included. Let me clear it out. Please don’t stop it. It was written on Facebook by Puneet Vashisht. Okay. He wrote a very big conspiracy theory. I think this was maybe one week after Sushant’s death, maybe close to one week.
I don’t know the correct date if you go on his Facebook page you will see. So he wrote a big conspiracy theory ki mujhe kya laga tha. He had written a film synopsis, jaise film ke synopsis kissi actor ko milte hain. He claims to be a songwriter and a writer himself. So I’m sure he has that passion in him and I’m sure he has a vivid imagination. So he has written a nine point synopsis where he has claimed all this in his head how he thought all this happened. Jaha usne socha Sooraj ka relation tha Disha se, Sooraj ne disha ko pregnant kiya. Uske baad Sushant ko pata chala fir ye woh whatever. It is okay you will get it. You’ll have it. You have a big team you can find it, so it all started from there. Wahan se facebook par share hua. Facebook se share hote hote Twitter par share hua, Twitter par share hote hote Whatsapp par share hua and Twitter par #SoorajPancholi was trending. That is when I got scared. I was like, what is this? Where is this entire article from Facebook going to? Leading news journalists are carrying this, leading papers, leading news anchors are talking about it all from a Facebook post. You took this on one of the biggest news channels in India. Is that how poor the journalism has become right now?
