MUMBAI, Aug. 4 -- The Bombay High Court on Monday questioned the Mumbai police over its refusal to register an FIR based on deceased celebrity manager Disha Salian's father's allegations that his daughter was gang-raped and murdered and did not die by suicide, as claimed by the police. "If someone is raising suspicion that this is not a case of suicide but murder, what stops you from filing an FIR?" a division bench of justices Bharati Dangre and Manjusha Deshpande asked the police. After examining photographs placed before it, the bench also noted that there were no visible injuries on Salian's body despite falling from the 14th floor of a building. "Someone fell down from the 14th floor, and there are no injuries?" the court said. Although Disha's father, Satish Salian, initially told police he did not suspect anyone, he approached the Bombay High Court in March 2025 seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)-led probe, alleging that his daughter was gang-raped and murdered. He also claimed that police officers, politicians and other influential figures had suppressed the truth. In his petition, Satish Salian said that investigating officers had not shared documents and articles included in the final investigation report with him. During the hearing on Monday, Salian's lawyer, advocate Nilesh Ojha, argued that the police were legally bound to register an FIR once a complaint alleging murder was filed. "How grave dishonesty is this? The police have created their own story that Disha died by falling from the 14th floor and that the dead body was found 10 feet away from the building. We got it analysed and found out that the body should have fallen straight down rather than 10 feet away. It's clear their report is false," Ojha said. He added that the initial photographs shown to the family indicated no injuries on her body, but the "police then fabricated the photos to show head injuries". On the other hand, public prosecutor Shishir Hiray told the court that the case was treated as an accidental death and that the police had conducted inquiries twice. Both times, he said, it was concluded that it was a case of suicide. The court, however, observed that if a postmortem has been conducted, the report will indicate the nature of injuries sustained by the deceased. "We want to see what are the nature of injuries that are described," the court said....
