Background and Context
Disha Salian passed away under suspicious circumstances on June 8, 2020, after falling from a residential building in Mumbai's Malad area. Her death occurred just days before the passing of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, for whom she had briefly worked as a manager. While the Mumbai Police initially registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR) and concluded the incident as a suicide, the case faced sustained public scrutiny and legal challenges, culminating in the Bombay High Court's recent order directing the CBI to take over the investigation.
