Following the Bombay High Court's order for the CBI to register an FIR and take over the investigation into the death of Disha Salian, her father, Satish Salian, who has pursued the case for years, alleging foul play, was visibly emotional.
"I have been waiting for this for 6 years. I've been waiting for 6 years, and there is no reason to be happy. I have lost my daughter. I feel relieved today. That's all... I folded my hands and expressed my gratitude to him (the judge)," Satish Salian told reporters.
Meanwhile, Advocate Nilesh Ojha, representing Satish Salian, explained the order.
"The Court has directed the CBI to record the statement of Satish Salian, register an FIR, appoint a senior officer to conduct the investigation, and the Malvani Police Station to hand over all records to the CBI. Furthermore, action will be taken against anyone against whom evidence is found. No one will be named as an accused if there is no evidence against them. Additionally, if the CBI submits a negative report, we have the right to raise objections and file a protest petition. The court has explicitly stated this in its order. I thank the court," he said.
Disha was found dead on June 8, 2020, days before actor Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his flat in Bandra, Mumbai. -- ANI
