Jiah Khan had alleged Sooraj Pancholi of physical and emotional abuse a few months before her demise, according to Rabia Khan, who testified in front of a special court in Mumbai last month. The late actor’s mother said, “Both the agencies (police and CBI) never collected any legal evidence to prove it was a case of suicide. I believe it is a murder and the accused is responsible for killing my daughter.” Also Read – Jiah Khan’s Mother Rabia To Be Cross Examined In Court After She Says, No Evidence Was Collected By Police Or CBI To Prove That Her Daughter Committed Suicide

After Rabia filed a complaint with the HC and the inquiry was given to the CBI in July 2014, her attorneys claimed that the Mumbai Police’s preliminary investigation into the matter also had ‘some weaknesses’ and an ‘incorrect approach.’ She is requesting a re-investigation of the case by independent authorities since she believes the CBI made the same ‘errors’ twice.
