A case back in focus: All you need to know about Disha Salian's death case as HC orders CBI probe
Disha Salian died on June 8, 2020, after she fell off the 14th floor of a residential building in Mumbai's Malad area.
On June 8, 2020, Disha Salian, a former manager of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, died after falling from the 14th floor of a residential building in Mumbai's Malad area. The Mumbai Police initially registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR), but the case has since been under scrutiny following the court's order for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe.
The Bombay High Court criticized the police for treating Salian's death as an accident for six years, noting glaring discrepancies in their investigation. Salian's father, Satish Salian, had previously approached the court in March 2025, alleging that his daughter had been raped and murdered, and seeking an FIR against Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray.
The court observed that the police investigation raises more questions than answers and directed the CBI to register an FIR, record Satish Salian's statement, and hand over all relevant case papers to the central agency.
