CBI Reopens Disha Salian Death Case Amid Renewed Investigation and Debate
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has reopened the 2020 death case of Disha Salian, initially deemed accidental, prompting renewed public and legal scrutiny. Discussions focus on alleged irregularities in evidence handling, including missing digital data and police conduct. While some sources suggest possible political cover-ups involving figures like former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, others emphasize that the Bombay High Court's order pertains solely to the Salian case and does not reopen the Sushant Singh Rajput investigation. The ongoing probe remains subject to judicial oversight.
