Disha Salian death gets CBI probe 5-yrs after SSR's
The Bombay High Court has ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to register an FIR and conduct a thorough investigation into the death of Disha Salian, who passed away in June 2020. This comes five years after the actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death, which occurred shortly before Salian's. Salian's family has alleged that she was murdered.
Justices Bharti Dangre and Manjusha Deshpande raised concerns about the registration of only an Accidental Death Report (ADR) instead of an FIR. The court has directed the CBI to record Satish Salian's statement, appoint a senior officer to lead the investigation, and ensure all records are handed over to the CBI. Any evidence against individuals will result in action being taken, while those without evidence will not be named as suspects.
The court also stated that if the CBI submits a negative report, they have the right to object and file a protest petition.
