Jiah Khan suicide case: Sooraj Pancholi charged with abetment

Actor Aditya Pancholi's son, Sooraj Pancholi, has been charged with abetment to suicide in the Jiah Khan case. Sooraj was named in the 447-page chargesheet that the Juhu police filed early on Wednesday morning in the Andheri Court.

Jiah Khan, known for her role in Nishabd, was found hanging from the ceiling at her Juhu residence on June 3. She was 25 at the time of her death. Initially, the police had called it a suicide, however further investigations and her postmortem report showed human flesh and blood lodged underneath her fingernails.

In the chargesheet, the police ruled out Jiah Khan's mother's contention that the young actress had been murdered and had not committed suicide.

Reacting to the chargesheet, Jiah Khan's mother Rabia Khan and lawyer Dinesh Tiwari have expressed unhappiness and are extremely upset with the chargesheet filed by the Juhu Police.

They said that the Bombay High Court had asked the police to conduct its investigation on the lines of a murder and to record Rabia's statement and to examine witnesses on those lines and procure evident pointing to the same. However, the chargesheet contains only her statement and no other statement was re-recorded. They are planning to approach the high court against this.

They are also planning to hold a press conference regarding this and other allegations that they are levelling against police.

Earlier, Sooraj Pancholi was arrested on June 10 for abetment of suicide on the basis of the six-page letter that had purportedly been written by Jiah Khan which was found in the house.

Defending his son, Aditya Pancholi had said that at the time Jiah Khan committed suicide, Sooraj was at a five-star hotel.

Earlier, responding to Rabia Khan's allegations, he had said, "We know what Jiah's mother is implying and why she is doing what she is doing. Sooraj is not the scared child that he was when Jiah's suicide toppled his world over."

"Today, after spending 21 days in one of the toughest jails in the country and having been put under the radar for no fault of his Sooraj has grown up. It is being implied that I have pulled strings to get my son out of jail on bail. Tell me if I was so powerful why would I have allowed my son to languish in Arthur Road jail for 21 days?

The Pancholi family is yet to react to the chargesheet that the Juhu Police has filed.

when is this saga going to end?
