Bombay High Court Orders CBI Probe into Death of Sushant Singh Rajput’s Former Manager Disha Salian

In a recent judgment, the Bombay High Court ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to take over the investigation into the death of Disha Salian, who had served as the manager of the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The court’s directive comes six years after Salian’s untimely demise, which had previously been investigated by local police.

The bench emphasized the need for an independent and impartial inquiry, noting that the case had attracted widespread public attention and speculation. By transferring the matter to the CBI, the court aims to ensure that any procedural lapses or conflicts of interest are eliminated.

Following the order, the CBI is expected to register a fresh FIR, collect evidence, and interview witnesses anew. The agency’s involvement signals a higher level of scrutiny and may lead to a more conclusive determination of the circumstances surrounding Salian’s death.

The decision also reflects broader concerns about the handling of high‑profile cases in the state, prompting calls for greater transparency in investigations involving public figures.
