Sooraj Pancholi, the son of actor Aditya Pancholi, has been acquitted of abetment charges in the Jiah Khan suicide case by a special CBI court on Friday. Jiah Khan, an actress, was found hanging at her Mumbai home in 2013, and her boyfriend, Sooraj Pancholi, was arrested for abetment to suicide after a letter revealed their tumultuous relationship. However, Judge AS Sayyad acquitted Pancholi due to a lack of evidence. Jiah's mother, Rabia Khan, who had been contesting the prosecution's stand that this was a case of suicide and claimed that her daughter was killed, will now file an appeal against the Mumbai court's order. In response to the verdict, Rabia Khan reiterated that her daughter was killed and said she would approach the high court as she believes the case is one of murder.
