Paucity of evidence: Court acquits Sooraj in Jiah Khan case

Calling Jiah Khan, who died by suicide 10 years ago, a “victim of her sentiments”, a special court on Friday acquitted actor Sooraj Pancholi of the charge of abetting the suicide of his girlfriend. It also doubted the suicide note and said Jiah’s mother Rabia could not explain the delay in lodging a complaint. Twenty-five-year-old Jiah, also an actor, was found hanging in her Juhu house on June 3, 2013. She was a US citizen.
