Actor Sooraj Pancholi was acquitted by a special CBI court in connection with the death of actor Jiah Khan in Mumbai. He was accused of abetting Jiah Khan’s suicide case.
Actor Jiah Khan was found dead at her Mumbai home on June 3, 2013.
Mumbai police immediately arrested Sooraj Pancholi, who was her alleged boyfriend.
The arrest was made on the basis of a six-page letter, purportedly written by the actress, where she mentioned about mental and physical abuse by the actor.
Jiah Khan’s mother, who is a key witness in the case, alleged that her daughter was killed and had not died of suicide.
After these allegations were made by her mother, the case was transferred from the Mumbai court to CBI.
However, he was finally acquitted of all these charges on April 28, 2023.
Actress Jiah Khan made her debut alongside Amitabh Bachchan in the film ‘Nishabd’ in 2007.
Sooraj Pancholi made his debut in Bollywood alongside Athiya Shetty in the film ‘Hero’ in 2015.
There were link-up rumours of the duo after the release of the film.
