A special CBI court on Friday acquitted Sooraj Pancholi, son of actor Aditya Pancholi, of abetment charges in the Jiah Khan suicide case. Judge AS Sayyad acquitted the film star due to paucity of evidence.
Jiah Khan, 25, was found hanging at her Mumbai home in 2013. Her boyfriend, Sooraj Pancholi, was arrested for abetment to suicide after a letter by Jiah Khan revealed their tumultuous relationship.
The note narrated Jiah Khan's "intimate relationship, physical abuse and mental and physical torture" at the hands of Sooraj, which led her to commit suicide, as per the CBI. However, Sooraj Pancholi was released on bail later.
