The note said: "When I first met you (Suraj) I was driven, ambitious and disciplined. Then I fell for you, a love I thought would bring out the best in me. I don't know why destiny brought us together. After all the pain, the rape, the abuse, the torture I have seen previously I didn't deserve this."

"I've lost everything. If you're reading this I might have already left or about to leave. I am broken inside," it says. "It didn't matter how many gifts I gave you or how beautiful I looked for you. I was scared of getting pregnant but I gave myself completely (the) pain you have caused me everyday destroyed my soul."

The six-page note was found by the young actor's younger sister on June 7.

The deceased actor's mother, Rabiya Khan, alleged on Monday that Jiah was made to suffer by Suraj and his father. Jiah's family handed over the note to Juhu police on Saturday and her mother and sister's statements were recorded again in front of an independent witness.
