The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has assigned officer Seema Pahuja to head the probe into the death of Disha Salian. Salian, who previously served as the manager for the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, died on June 8, 2020, after falling from the 14th floor of a building in the Malad area of Mumbai.

Her death occurred just days before the high-profile death of Sushant Singh Rajput, which took place in his Bandra apartment. Because of the proximity in time between the two incidents, public and media interest has frequently linked the investigations. While the Mumbai Police initially handled the case and concluded it as an accidental death, the appointment of a senior CBI officer signals a renewed focus on the circumstances surrounding the event. There are currently no conflicting reports regarding the basic facts of the appointment or the timeline of the deaths, as the primary focus remains on the procedural shift in the investigation's leadership.
