Bombay HC orders CBI probe into Sushant Singh Rajput’s ex-manager Disha Salian's death
The Bombay high court ordered a CBI investigation into Disha Salian's death. The court questioned Mumbai Police's failure to register an FIR for murder allegations. Police registered only an Accidental Death Report despite family complaints of gang rape. The court found the suicide theory inconsistent with the evidence presented. Post-mortem and ADR copies were not given to the family for years.
The Bombay High Court in India has ordered the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) for the murder investigation of Disha Salian, the ex-manager of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who died in June 2020. The court appointed a senior officer of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to lead the probe into her death.
The court directed that no one should be treated as an accused until there is sufficient material against them. Disha Salian's father, Satish Salian, filed a petition in the court, seeking a CBI probe into his daughter's death, alleging suspicious circumstances surrounding it. The court questioned the long inquiry conducted by the Mumbai Police under section 174 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) and directed the registration of an FIR.
