  • Bombay High Court orders CBI to investigate Disha Salian's death.
  • A senior and experienced CBI officer will be appointed to lead the probe.
  • The court directed the registration of an FIR following the petitioner's statement.
  • The investigation will scrutinize all circumstances surrounding her death.

The Bombay High Court has delivered a significant verdict in the case involving the death of Disha Salian, who served as a manager for the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Acting on a petition filed by Salian's father, Satish Salian, the court has mandated a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

The court has instructed the CBI Joint Director for the Mumbai region to appoint a highly experienced and senior officer to oversee the investigation. Furthermore, the court has directed that the statement of the petitioner, Satish Salian, be recorded to facilitate the immediate registration of an FIR.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that this judicial directive brings fresh momentum to a case that had previously reached a stalemate with local authorities. By elevating the investigation to the CBI, the court aims to ensure a deeper, more forensic scrutiny of the events leading up to Salian's demise, moving beyond the initial accidental death reports.

This judicial intervention is a critical step toward ensuring that no stone is left unturned in a case that has long haunted the public consciousness.

The scope of the investigation will not be limited to the immediate cause of death but will encompass all circumstances and sequences of events surrounding the incident. However, the court maintained a strictly legal stance, stating that no individual shall be deemed an accused until sufficient evidence of a crime is unearthed during the probe.

To recall, Disha Salian passed away on June 8, 2020, after falling from a high-rise building in the Malad area of Mumbai. While the Mumbai Police initially categorized the incident as an Accidental Death Report (ADR), the timing—occurring just a week before the death of Sushant Singh Rajput—triggered widespread speculation and intense public interest.
