The Bombay High Court told the Central Bureau of Investigation, or CBI, to conduct a fuller investigation.
The CBI has now registered an FIR, which formally begins its investigation.
Disha’s father gave investigators information and names of people he wants questioned.
Sushant’s sister said she hoped the investigation would help reveal the truth.
The CBI registered an FIR into the June 8, 2020, death of Disha Salian.

“I stated the facts exactly as they were; I told them everything that happened to my daughter. I listed all the names: Aditya, Sooraj Pancholi, Dino Morea, and the bodyguards. They noted everything down. They said they would take action based on what I told them; the proceedings would begin in a few days.”
