The Bombay High Court has directed the Central Bureau of Investigation to probe the death of former celebrity manager Disha Salian, whose fall from the 12th floor raised unanswered questions.
The Bombay High Court on Tuesday ordered a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into the death of Disha Salian, a former manager of several Bollywood personalities. The court noted that the circumstances surrounding her fall from the 12th floor of a building in Mumbai remain unclear and merit a thorough, independent investigation.
Salian was found dead after reportedly slipping from the balcony of the high-rise. Initial reports indicated that she did not sustain a facial bone fracture nor was there any visible external bleeding, prompting questions about the exact cause of death.
The court’s directive comes after the family and legal counsel sought a federal probe, citing concerns over potential lapses in the local police’s handling of the case. The CBI will now take over the investigation, examine forensic evidence, and submit a detailed report to the high court.
The order underscores the judiciary’s willingness to intervene in high‑profile cases where public confidence in the investigative process is at stake, and it signals that the matter will be scrutinised with the highest level of authority.
