Jiah Suicide: Bail or Jail for Suraj Pancholi? HC to decide

Mumbai, July 1: The Pancholis must be very tense today (Monday, July 1) as the Bombay High Court is expected to deliver its verdict over bail plea of Suraj Pancholi. The 22-year-old aspiring actor was arrested in connection with Bollywood actress Jiah Khan's suicide case.

Suraj, son of Bollywood actors Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab, had challenged a session court's order which had rejected his bail application. A magistrate court recently extended Suraj's judicial custody till July 11.

The Pancholis moved the high court following the lower court's order which had observed that the FIR and probe reports clearly suggested that Jiah was continuously subjected to ill-treatment by the accused.

In a six-page letter allegedly written by Jiah, she had allegedly spoken of torture and abortion. The police were using the letter as a dying declaration to charge Suraj who was charged with abetting the suicide.

But his lawyers countered that the letter did not mention about the date of the abuse and did not make any mention that Suraj was responsible for the crime. They also claimed that the handwriting in the letter and Jiah's signature were different.

25-year-old Jiah was found dead in her Juhu residence in Mumbai on June 3. Her mother and sister were not present at the flat. Postmortem report said the young actress died due to hanging.
