Overview
- The court asked why the inquiry remains unfinished five years after the June 2020 death, saying police must determine whether it was suicide or culpable homicide.
- Judges directed police to state their position on sharing basic investigation documents with Satish Salian and to place the post-mortem report before the court.
- The public prosecutor said the probe is ongoing, with CCTV footage re-sent for forensic tests, and noted the parents earlier recorded no suspicion against anyone.
- Satish Salian’s petition alleges gang-rape and murder, seeks a CBI probe, and requests an FIR naming Aditya Thackeray, who has moved to intervene and denies the claims.
- The bench listed the matter for December 11, as the state-constituted SIT formed in December 2023 has yet to submit its report.
