CBI finds evidences from Aditya Pancholi's house in Jiah Khan suicide case

15 May 2015

The suicide case of actress Jiah Khan seems to have had a new twist after two years. The 23 year old Bollywood actress apparently committed suicide at her residence in Juhu in 2013 and her boyfriend Sooraj Pancholi came under the radar for abetting the crime. Sooraj, who is the son of actors Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab, is set to make a Bollywood debut this year with the Salman Khan production Hero. However, in all likelihood, yet again he has been embroiled in this controversy.

Apparently, the CBI that is currently in charge of the case found evidence at Aditya Pancholi's house, when a search was conducted at their residence on Wednesday. The said evidence has been seized and categorized as important evidence in the case. One of the officials from the CBI maintained that they are currently investigating the same and added that they may serve a useful purpose in the case. Elaborating on the kind of evidence, the CBI member also revealed that this includes different forms of interaction between the couple.

For those who aren't aware, Jiah Khan's suicide case in 2013 led to the arrest of her then boyfriend Sooraj Pancholi which was followed by many controversies. Following his arrest Sooraj was charged with murder, but due to inadequate evidence was granted bail and was later released. However, Jiah's mother, Rabiya Khan, moved the Bombay High court alleging Sooraj and his parents with murder and abetment in her daughter's suicide. However, Sooraj and his family denied all allegations. Later in 2014, the case was handed over to the CBI that is currently investigating the matter. According to them, Sooraj has been charged for abetment as of now.
