The CBI has assigned senior officer Seema Pahuja, currently an SP in its Special Crimes Unit, to supervise the investigation into the 2020 death of Disha Salian, former manager of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Pahuja has previously worked on high-profile investigations, including the RG Kar and Hathras cases, and received the CBI’s 2021 Gold Medal for Best Investigating Officer. The CBI registered an FIR on September 13 following the Bombay High Court’s September 2 direction for a fresh probe. Investigators will examine documents, forensic evidence and witness statements, including those of people present at a gathering before Salian’s death.
