The Bombay High Court has asked Mumbai Police why it did not register an FIR after Disha Salian’s father alleged gang rape and murder in 2020. The police recorded only an Accidental Death Report. The court also noted that the family had not received copies of the post-mortem report and ADR, five years after her death. Advocate Nilesh Ojha, representing Satish Salian, said the bench found the police theory of suicide after a fall from the 14th floor inconsistent with material before it. The court directed the petitioner to submit a chronology of events supporting a cognisable offence. Police have been asked to respond. The Mumbai Police has said its SIT findings remain consistent with the original investigation, while examining other angles.
