Mumbai, Nov 27:

case has taken a new turn as more evidences hinted at

and not suicide case. According to media reports, no fingerprints have been found on the fan from which the Bollywood actress' body was hanging.

Earlier Kalina Forensic Laboratory report had suggested that human flesh and bloodfound were found under the fingernails of the deceased Jiah. Also other signs of struggle have been noticed. Reports further said that alcohol was found in her body suggesting incapacitation to some extent, which indicated that she may have been easily hanged by another person. These points surrounding Jiah's mysterious death case, somewhere suggest a strong possibility of murder.

Mumbai Police were forced to reopen the Jiah Khan case following her mother Rabiya Khan's strong appeal in which she doubted the theory of suicide. Rabiya Amin had reportedly petitioned the Bombay High Court alleging that her daughter may have been murdered. She demanded that the case be investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), since the then earlier probe by police was quite hush-hush and mostly in benefit of the accused Suraj Pancholi.

Rabiya Amin's petition reportedly claimed that Jiah Khan was possibly murdered before being hanged. The petition also raised 10 key questions, that points at the fact that it was possibly not a suicide case, but a homicidal death.
