Bombay High Court Questions Police Over FIR Delay in Disha Salian Death Case
The Bombay High Court questioned Mumbai Police for not filing an FIR in the 2020 death of Disha Salian, despite her father's suspicion of murder. The court noted delays in providing post-mortem reports and raised concerns over the absence of injuries consistent with a 14-floor fall. The police maintain the death was a suicide based on witness statements, while the family disputes the findings and alleges evidence manipulation. The court is reviewing these issues amid calls for a fresh investigation.
