CBI Takes Over Disha Salian Death Probe
9 Sep
Summary
- CBI has requested Malwani police for Disha Salian case documents.
- Bombay HC ordered an FIR registration for Salian's death probe.
- Mumbai police had previously concluded Salian's death as suicide.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has formally requested Malwani police to provide all case-related documents concerning the death of celebrity manager Disha Salian. This development stems from a recent directive by the Bombay High Court, which mandated the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) for Salian's death. The court also assigned a senior CBI officer to oversee the investigation into the circumstances of her demise on June 8, 2020.
Previously, the Mumbai police had concluded their investigation, determining Salian's death to be a suicide and finding no evidence of foul play. However, Salian's father had petitioned the High Court, citing suspicious circumstances and seeking a probe into her death as a murder case. The High Court's order stipulated that no individual should be named as an accused in the FIR unless sufficient material exists against them.
Disha Salian, aged 28, had previously worked with actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who was found deceased on June 14, 2020. The CBI's involvement now indicates a renewed focus on uncovering the facts surrounding Salian's death.
