Five years on, questions surrounding the mysterious death of judge B H Loya remains unanswered. However, a group of Mumbaikars has taken it upon themselves to remind the state government that people still want to know 'who killed Judge Loya'. The judge, who was hearing the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case, died allegedly of cardiac arrest in 2014 in Nagpur where he had gone to attend a wedding ceremony.

Though the post-mortem report stated that judge Brijgopal Harkishan Loya died of natural causes, a detailed magazine report in 2017 mentioned that fresh details have emerged, suggesting foul play in his death. Several PILs were filed in the Supreme Court following the reportage but were dismissed. The SC had said there was no reason to doubt the statements of the four judges, who were in Nagpur with Judge Loya to attend the wedding ceremony.
