Sooraj Pancholi
Due to a lack of evidence, a special CBI court cleared Sooraj Pancholi of the charges of aiding Jiah Khan’s suicide.
A. S. Sayyad, a judge of the Special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Court, delivered the verdict, stating that the lack of evidence prevented the court from finding Sooraj Pancholi guilty.
Sooraj Pancholi (32), who is at present temporarily free from jail, was charged under the IPC segment 306 abetments of self-destruction. Rabia Khan, Jiah Khan’s mother, had been asserting that her daughter had been killed.
Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab, a seasoned couple of actors, are the parents of Sooraj, who was present in court with her mother.
Actor Sooraj Pancholi, Jiah’s boyfriend and one of the people who was accused of encouraging her drastic step. The actor posted a response on Instagram shortly after a significant court relief in the case.
The 32-year-old wrote on his official Instagram account, “The truth always wins,” with the hashtag “GodIsGreat” and praying hands and a heart emoji.
Zarina Wahab, Mr. Pancholi’s mother, was also seen with him in the Mumbai courtroom.
Rabia Khan, Jiah’s mother told the court that she thought the crime was murder, not suicide. She said her daughter was killed in response to the verdict and stated that she would approach the high court. The decision is based on supposed self-destruction, yet I have consistently kept up with the fact that Jiah was killed. She stated, “This actually strengthens my case.”
On June 3, 2013, Jiah Khan, a 25-year-old American citizen, was found hanged at her Juhu, Mumbai, home. Police later captured Sooraj Pancholi based on a six-page letter purportedly composed by Jiah for self-destruction.
In this case, Mr. Pancholi was taken into custody in June 2013 and later granted bail in July 2013.
