No room for speculation in Disha Salian death case, CBI will investigate: CM Fadnavis
- Decorated CBI officer Seema Pahuja, posted at the Special Crimes Unit in Delhi, has been assigned to supervise the investigation into Disha Salian's death following Bombay High Court directives to register an FIR.
- The Bombay High Court intervened on September 2 after the Mumbai Police failed to register an FIR for six years, criticizing the investigation for raising more questions than answers.

- Pahuja's previous investigations include the Hathras incident, Unnao rape case, and RG Kar Medical College case; her team was commended for utilizing modern forensic techniques in the Shimla case, and she received a gold medal for 'Best Investigating Officer' in 2021.
- Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis confirmed on Tuesday that the CBI will investigate Salian's death, cautioning that 'It is not appropriate for us to engage in speculation' regarding the case.
- The CBI must navigate significant challenges revisiting six-year-old evidence, records, and witness information, including forensic materials and police inquiry documents. All eyes focus on what Pahuja will uncover in this case.
