A Mumbai Special Cbi Court on Friday acquitted actor Sooraj Pancholi in the sensational Jiah Khan death case, in which he was charged with abetment to suicide.
The verdict came almost 10 years after Jiah, 25 was found dead in her Mumbai flat in Sagar Sangeet apartments, Juhu, around midnight on June 3, 2013.
Days later, Sooraj — son of veteran actor couple Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab — was arrested and charged with abetment to suicide.
An American citizen, Jiah was stated to be in a relationship with Sooraj who was then trying to make his mark in Bollywood.
She apparently left a note, which pointed the needle of suspicion towards Sooraj, who was later arrested in connection with her death.
In a major shocker for Bollywood, Sooraj was booked under Ipc Section 306 for allegedly abetting Jiah’s suicide, a week after Jiah ended her life.

Mumbai, April 28 (Ians) Almost 10 years after actress-model Jiah Khan was found hanging in a Mumbai flat, a Special Cbi Court will deliver its verdict in the much-talked-about sensational case — in which Bollywood actor Sooraj Pancholi is an accused — here later on Friday.
An American citizen, Jiah, 25, was found hanging around the midnight of June 3, 2013 at her flat in Sagar Sangeet Building in the posh Juhu area.
Jiah was stated to be in a relationship with Sooraj — the son of veteran actor-couple Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab.
She apparently left a note, which pointed the needle of suspicion towards Sooraj, who was trying to grab a foothold in Bollywood at that time.

The Jiah Khan death case has temporarily faced a setback after the Bombay high court stayed the trial of Sessions' court on Monday, July 11. Amidst a few developments in the case, we hear that the prosecution has found a new lawyer Dhairyasheel Patil who will now be taking over the case. Dhairyasheel Patil has apparently asked for three weeks to study the case and the bench that includes Justice Nh Patil and Justice Pd Naik has granted the three week extension. Besides this, Jiah's mother Rabia Khan had filed a plea to transfer the case to a new bench but the last bench dismissed the same and maintained that this will be the last adjournment since the Supreme Court has asked to speed up the matter further. On the other hand, Sooraj's lawyer Prashant Patil expressed his frustration over the constant delay as he maintained that his client (Sooraj Pancholi...

Former actress Jiah Khan's suicide case has undergone several tribulations for the past three years. The actress was found hanging herself at her residence on June 3 but this case later culminated into a murder trial after Jiah's mother Rabia Khan accused the actress' boyfriend and actor Sooraj Pancholi on the same.
Though as of now, the case is being considered as a suicide with Sooraj's ongoing trial on abetment of suicide, Rabia refuses to bog down. On the other hand, lawyer of Sooraj, Prashant Patil has allegedly stumbled upon evidence that can change the course of the case. Patil has revealed that he has found evidence that prove that Jiah Khan had suicidal tendencies and was undergoing treatment for depression. He also claimed that any such details that are related to a victim's hypertension tendencies should be put forth before the court and Rabia Khan failed to do so.
