Bombay High Court Orders CBI Probe and FIR in Disha Salian Death Case
The Bombay High Court has ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to register an FIR and take over the probe into the 2020 death of Disha Salian, former manager of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The court cited discrepancies and inadequacies in the Mumbai Police investigation and directed the CBI to record statements, including that of Salian's father, Satish Salian, who has alleged foul play. The court emphasized no individual will be named accused without sufficient evidence and allowed the family to challenge any closure report. The case remains under close scrutiny amid ongoing public interest.
