Bombay High Court Questions Investigation into Disha Salian's 2020 DeathPreviousNext

The Bombay High Court has raised serious concerns over the investigation into Disha Salian's 2020 death, questioning the Mumbai police and Maharashtra government on procedural lapses, inconsistencies in forensic evidence, and the reopening of the inquiry years later. Salian's father alleges she was murdered, seeking a thorough probe and CBI involvement. The court reserved its verdict after examining discrepancies in injury patterns, investigation delays, and legal procedures, emphasizing the need for a transparent and lawful resolution.
