Actress Jiah Khan's suicide news has been hitting the headlines yet again, what with the CBI filing a charge sheet of the case.
According
to a report in Mumbai Mirror, the charge sheet which has been filed by
the CBI in the Jiah Khan case provides some chilling details about her
pregnancy, how her then boyfriend Sooraj Pancholi aided her in the
subsequent abortion and how the termination of pregnancy left her an
emotional wreck, possibly leading to her suicide.
In
the charge sheet submitted to a sessions court yesterday, there are
details mentioned about Khan's pregnancy and how they got the foetus
aborted, with Sooraj Pancholi's involvement in it.
A
source informed Mumbai Mirror on the express condition of anonymity,
the charge sheet reads, "Jiah was four weeks pregnant when she informed
Pancholi about it.The couple then approached a physician who prescribed
some medicines for medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) but that
didn't help.The couple then approached another doctor and finally a
gynaecologist who prescribed a stronger and more effective combination
of drugs."
The
source added, "After taking the medicine, Khan started haemorrhaging
and called Pancholi for help.She was in pain and needed immediate
medical attention but Pancholi allegedly asked her to wait and called up
the gynaecologist for guidance. He was asked to rush Khan to hospital
as the foetus had probably aborted but had not been expelled from the
body, which is probably what led to the haemorrhaging," the charge sheet
says. It adds that Pancholi was afraid that if Khan got hospitalised,
their relationship would become public knowledge and his career could
grind to a halt even before taking off. Sooraj then decided to take
matters in his own hand rather than risk going to a hospital. He
extricated the foetus and disposed of it in the toilet, the charge sheet
alleges. This allegedly left a deep emotional scar on Khan as she was
very possessive about Pancholi and the latter started avoiding her,
possibly for the sake of his acting career. "This added to her
depression which finally drove her to suicide,"
Although
the earlier charge sheet filed by the Juhu police after Khan's suicide
does not mention this incident, this came to light only when the CBI
recorded the statement of doctors, who are among the 11 new witnesses
examined.
However,
officially, the CBI is tight-lipped about the contents of the charge
sheet and only said that a case under Section 306 of the IPC was made
out against a "private person".
Section 306 of the IPC deals with abetment to suicide and carries a maximum imprisonment of 10 years and also a fine.
The
charge sheet adds: "The wilful conduct of the accused narrated in the
note written by the deceased, her intimate relationship, the physical
abuse, the mental and physical torture which she experienced, allegedly
led the deceased to commit suicide."
The
CBI charge sheet adds that "the accused are presumed to be innocent
till their guilt is finally established after a fair trial".
The
CBI charge sheet has statements of Pancholi's domestic help, the
building's watchman, the florist who delivered the last bouquet to Khan
just before she allegedly committed suicide and actor Anju Mahendroo.
Meanwhile,
Sooraj Pancholi's mother, Zarina Wahab, told Mumbai Mirror: "We came to
know about the filing of the charge sheet via media only and we were
not intimated by the investigating agency."
