Jiah Khan's mother Rabbiya Khan had filed a petition in the Bombay High Court earlier this month. In the petition, she alleged that her daughter Jiah was murdered and had not committed suicide as was concluded earlier.
Based on this petition, Bombay High Court has ordered further investigation into this case and has also demanded a CBI probe.
Rabbiya Khan's petition supported evidence from a forensic expert Dr R N Jerajani, who opined that the depth of ligature marks in Jiah's case was difficult to achieve with a soft material. Jiah was found hanging with a muslin 'dupatta' on that fateful day.
The petition also questions the fact that Jiah was found hanging in her night suit while CCTV footage shows her entering the apartment in tracks. it argues as to why would someone change before committing suicide.
Jiah Khan was found dead, hanging in her room, on June 3rd. Concluding it as a case of suicide, police arrested Jiah's boyfriend Suraj Pancholi for abetting her suicide. However, he was released in a month's time, after the court declared him 'not guilty'.
With this new probe starting again, this case takes another turn for Suraj and everyone involved.
