Bombay High Court Questions Police Over No 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 2020 death, which was initially treated as an accidental suicide. The court also sought clarification on postmortem findings, noting inconsistencies given her fall from the 14th floor. Satish Salian alleges his daughter was gang raped and murdered, requesting a CBI probe and FIR against Shiv Sena MLA Aaditya Thackeray. Police maintain inquiries concluded suicide based on witness statements.
