HC Orders CBI Probe Into Disha Salian's Death: ‘No One Can Be Made Accused unless...’
The bench said the CBI must file an FIR and record Satish Salian’s statement, while keeping any accused status open until evidence is found.
- On Wednesday, The Bombay High Court ordered a Central Bureau of Investigation probe into the 2020 death of Disha Salian, directing the agency to register an FIR and record her father Satish Salian's statement.
- Following Salian's death after falling from a 14th-floor Mumbai building in 2020, city police filed an Accidental Death Report concluding the case was suicide, a finding her father disputed in his petition.

- Mumbai police must transfer all case papers to the CBI under the order from Justices Sarang Kotwal and Ranjitsinha Raja Bhonsale, who stated, "In case the investigation reveals that no case is made out, then the CBI shall file the appropriate summary report."
- The court specified that no person shall be treated as an accused without sufficient material gathered during the investigation, while Satish Salian remains at liberty to challenge the final report.
