The Central Bureau of Investigation has registered an FIR into the death of Disha Salian, the former manager of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The move follows an order from the Bombay High Court transferring the case to the central agency, officials said.
Disha Salian was the former manager of Sushant Singh Rajput. Her death case has now been handed over to the CBI for investigation.
CBI FIR in Disha Salian Case: What the High Court Ordered
The Bombay High Court, while directing the CBI to investigate the case, gave a clear instruction. It said that no individual should be named as an accused at this stage.
This means the CBI can investigate the circumstances of the death, but the court has not allowed anyone to be formally named as an accused yet. The FIR has been registered, and the agency will now look into the matter.
Why the Disha Salian Case Is Back in the News
The timing of the hearing has drawn attention. It comes amid mounting political pressure on the BJP-led Maharashtra government over Manoj Jarange Patil's Maratha quota agitation and other controversies, including the MPSC examination paper-leak issue.
The proceedings have also brought Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and vocal BJP critic Aaditya Thackeray back into the spotlight.
Our Take: Why This CBI FIR Matters
To put it plainly, this is a significant development in a case that has been discussed for years. The Bombay High Court has stepped in and handed the investigation to the CBI. That itself sends a message that the matter needed a central agency's attention.
In our view, the court's instruction that no individual be named as an accused at this stage is the most important part of this order. It keeps the investigation open and fair. It prevents any early naming of suspects before the facts are clear.
The political backdrop cannot be ignored either. The case has returned to public attention at a time when the state government is already facing pressure on multiple fronts. Whether that timing matters is for the investigation to show, not for us to assume.
For readers, the key takeaway is simple: the CBI is now officially investigating the Disha Salian death case. The court has set a clear boundary — investigate, but do not name anyone as an accused yet. What happens next depends on what the agency finds.
