The Bombay High Court issued a ruling directing the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to take over the inquiry into the death of Disha Salian. Salian, a celebrity manager who worked with the late Sushant Singh Rajput. The court's decision comes after years of public speculation and multiple petitions.
During the proceedings, the bench was notably critical of the Mumbai Police and their handling of the case. The judges pointed out that the failure to register a formal First Information Report (FIR) for nearly six years was an inexplicable lapse. The court remarked that the existing investigation "raises more questions than answers," suggesting that the local authorities had not done enough.

- SSR connection — Salian was the former manager of actor Sushant Singh Rajput
The Bombay High Court's order for a CBI probe is expected to bring a new level of scrutiny. The move is seen as a victory for those who have consistently argued that the Mumbai Police investigation was insufficient.
