Bombay HC orders CBI probe into Disha Salian death
The Economic Times··2 Sept
The Bombay High Court on Wednesday ordered a CBI probe into Disha Salian's June 8, 2020 death. The bench told CBI to register an FIR, record Satish Salian's statement and take police records. No one is to be named an accused without sufficient material, it said. Salian died days before Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead on June 14.
