Bombay High Court Questions Police on FIR in Disha Salian Death Case
The Bombay High Court questioned why Mumbai Police did not register an FIR after Disha Salian's father raised suspicions about her death in 2020, which was initially treated as a suicide following an accidental death inquiry. The court also noted inconsistencies in the postmortem report regarding injuries from a fall. Salian's father alleges she was gang raped and murdered, seeking a fresh investigation. Police maintain their findings based on witness statements and prior inquiries.
