Bombay High Court Orders CBI Probe into Disha Salian Death Case

Bombay High Court Orders CBI Probe into Disha Salian Death CasePreviousNext

The Bombay High Court has ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to register an FIR and conduct a thorough probe into the 2020 death of Disha Salian, former manager of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Salian died after falling from a Mumbai building, initially ruled a suicide by police. Her father, Satish Salian, alleged foul play and sought a fresh investigation, including accusations against political figures. The court noted discrepancies in the earlier probe and emphasized no one will be named accused without sufficient evidence. The CBI will review all case materials and record statements, with the petitioner allowed to challenge closure reports.
