Disha Salian Death: Bombay High Court's Justice Ashish Chavan Recuses From Hearing Father's Plea For 'Murder' FIR

Bombay High Court judge Justice Ashish Chavan on Wednesday recused from hearing a plea filed by Satish Salian, father of Disha Salian, the former manager of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

In his plea, the father has alleged that his daughter was "murdered" and did not commit suicide.

He has thus sought registration of an FIR under the relevant provisions of IPC.

Disha died on June 08, 2020, five days before Rajput's death. She had fallen off the 14th floor of her building. The Police had then registered a case of accidental death.

For context, in November last year, a division bench had questioned the Maharashtra Government over its slow paced investigation in the death of Disha Salian.

It had sought to know why the Mumbai Police could not complete its investigation in the case even 5 years after Salian's death.
