The Mumbai High Court announced the verdict today, acquitting Bollywood actor Sooraj Pancholi in the Jiah Khan suicide case after a long and intense legal battle. A special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court in Mumbai issued its decision on the death of actress Jiah Khan on Friday. The CBI court announced the verdict, acquitting Sooraj Pancholi, the actor accused of aiding Jiah Khan’s suicide, in the case. Sooraj Pancholi was present at the court when the verdict was announced.
What Happened 10 Years Back With Jiah Khan And Sooraj Pancholi
On June 3, 2013, Jiah was best known for her role in Nishabd alongside Amitabh Bachchan. She was found dead at her Mumbai home. Mumbai Police charged Sooraj Pancholi with section 306 (abetment to suicide). They also arrested him based on a letter allegedly written by Jiah that was seized a week later. In the letter, Jiah purportedly discussed her tumultuous relationship with Sooraj and alleged that he physically and mentally abused her.
A Mumbai court denied Sooraj’s bail application, but he was granted bail on July 1, 2013, after posting a 50,000 bond. On July 2, the court acquitted Sooraj Pancholi, ruling that he was not responsible for Jiah Khan’s suicide. The late actor’s mother, Rabia Khan, requested a thorough and extensive investigation after being dissatisfied with the court’s decision. The Bombay High Court transferred the case from Mumbai Police to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) about a year after Jiah Khan’s death.
Sooraj was accused of abetting the suicide of his ex-girlfriend, Jiah Khan, who was found dead in her Mumbai apartment in 2013. Pancholi and his family have maintained his innocence throughout the trial.
The verdict came as a massive relief to Sooraj Pancholi and his family, who were visibly emotional upon hearing the news. Pancholi was seen crying tears of joy outside the court as his family hugged him and celebrated.
Hearings And Proceedings
The case has been closely followed by the media and the public, with many speculating on Pancholi’s involvement in the tragedy. However, the court found insufficient evidence to prove that Pancholi had any role in Khan’s suicide.
Pancholi’s lawyers argued that Khan was depressed and had been struggling with personal and professional issues for a long time. They also pointed out that there was no evidence of a suicide note or any communication from Khan that suggested she was planning to take her own life.
The case has been a long and difficult one for Pancholi, who has faced intense scrutiny and public backlash since Khan’s death. However, he has always maintained his innocence and insisted that he had nothing to do with her tragic end.
Sooraj Pancholi Finally Acquitted Today At 12:30 PM
The verdict today brings some closure to the case. Moreover, it marks a new chapter for Pancholi, who can move forward with his life and career.
Rabia filed a new application in the Bombay High Court last year. It led to reviving the nine-year-old case, claiming flaws in the previous probe performed by the CBI. Rabia’s case, however, was dismissed by the Bombay High Court. Rabia claimed in her appeal that her daughter was murdered. So she requested a new investigation into the matter by an independent and special agency with support from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the United States.
Sooraj Pancholi is a rising star in Bollywood and has appeared in several popular films, including Hero and Satellite Shankar. He is the son of actors Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab and has been a prominent figure in the industry since his debut in 2015. After the acquittal, Sooraj Pancholi shared a post on his Instagram story.
Despite the controversy surrounding the Jiah Khan case, Pancholi has continued to work on his craft. As a result, he has received praise for his performances. He is expected to have a bright future ahead of him in Bollywood and is already being touted as one of the industry’s next big stars.
Big Relief For Sooraj
In conclusion, the acquittal of Sooraj Pancholi marks the end of a long and difficult legal battle. It was a tough time for the rising Bollywood star. At the same time, the case has been closely followed by the media and the public. Pancholi has always maintained his innocence and has been vindicated by the court’s verdict. With this chapter now behind him, Pancholi can focus on his career. Also, continue to entertain audiences with his performances on the big screen.
