The Bombay High Court on Wednesday ordered a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the death of Disha Salian of former celebrity manager Disha Salian in 2020.

Pronouncing the order on a petition filed by Disha's father, Satish Salian, the high court said no one must be treated as an accused unless the investigating officer finds sufficient material against the person.

Disha died on June 8, 2020, after falling off the 12th floor of a residential building in Mumbai's Malad area. The city police had subsequently registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR).

Last year, Satish approached the High Court, alleging his daughter was raped and murdered. He also accused the police of suppressing facts to protect some influential people in the case.
