CBI registers FIR in Disha Salian’s death case
New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered an FIR in the death case of Disha Salian, the ex-manager of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The Bombay High Court handed the case over to the CBI, instructing them not to name anyone as an accused, according to officials on Monday. On September 2, the high court criticized the Mumbai Police for failing to register an FIR for six years, deeming their investigation inadequate.
CBI officials confirmed the registration of the case and stated that investigation and statement recordings have commenced. The high court emphasized the necessity of a central agency probe to ensure a thorough and substantive investigation. Disha Salian, 28, was found dead on June 8, 2020, after falling from a 12th-floor residential building in Mumbai's Malad area.
The city police initially classified it as an accidental death, later retracting and declaring it a suicide. The public's reaction to Sushant Singh Rajput's death earlier that year prompted the CBI to investigate.
