CBI Registers FIR in Disha Salian Death Case Following Bombay High Court Order
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered an FIR to investigate the death of Disha Salian. This action follows a Bombay High Court directive that criticized the Mumbai Police for failing to register an FIR for six years and ordered a formal probe.

The CBI has registered an FIR in connection with the death of Disha Salian, former manager of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, officials said on Monday (September 14, 2026).
Earlier this month, the Bombay High Court ordered a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into Salian's death and pulled up Mumbai Police for failing to register an FIR for six years, observing that its investigation "raises more questions than answers".
The bench criticised the police for treating the case only as an accidental death for six years and pointed to "glaring discrepancies" in the investigation.
Salian, who had briefly worked as Rajput's manager, died on June 8, 2020, after falling from the 12th floor of a residential building in Mumbai's Malad area. Mumbai Police had registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR) in the case.
A week later, Rajput was found dead in his apartment on June 14, 2020, triggering speculation about a possible link between the two deaths.
The uproar following Rajput's death led the Maharashtra government to order a CBI probe into it. The agency subsequently submitted a closure report stating that Rajput died by suicide. The report, however, is yet to be heard by the court concerned.
