Jiah’s mom moves HC again for SIT probe, says she was killed
4 March 2014 12:25 AM GMT
Rabia Khan, mother of late actor Jiah Khan, has moved the Bombay High Court once again alleging that her daughter was murdered and had not committed suicide and sought transfer of probe to a Special Investigating Team. The petition would come up for hearing in due course, her lawyer Dinesh Tiwari said.
In October 2013, Rabia had filed a petition seeking CBI probe but did not press for it as the high court had asked police to record her statement and probe as if it was a case of murder. The police had probed on these lines and filed a chargesheet saying it was a suicide case and charged actor Suraj Pancholi, Jiah’s boyfriend, for abetment of suicide.
At a press conference here today, Rabia alleged that she was threatened by a man on 25 February who met her at her house and asked her to withdraw case against the accused. She promptly reported this to police commissioner through e-mail.
