Investigations into the alleged suicide of actor Jiah Khan have revealed that just an hour prior to taking the drastic step, she had a tiff with her boyfriend, accused Suraj Pancholi which he described as over a mere "misunderstanding."

The CBI filed a charsgeheet against the Bollywood actor this week and accused him of abetting her suicide. The CBI said on June 3, 2013, Suraj sent a bouquet to Jiah as she had bagged two films and an item song. He then went on to have dinner with a friend at a suburban five star. It further said that at 10.04 pm, he called Jiah and said he was at the hotel and waiting for a jewellery designer. However, when Jiah called the woman to confirm this, the latter told her she was to meet Suraj the following morning."Immediately Jia called Suraj and accused him of lying," the CBI said in the chargesheet. Suraj then called up the jewellery designer to confirm her arrival that night but she told him their appointment was for the following morning.



The investigating agency said Suraj then requested her to call up Jiah and clear the misunderstanding. However, her calls to Jiah were met with a busy tone. Jiah's repeated attempts to call Suraj and message him were not answered until he called her at 10.22 pm. Following this, Jiah made her way to Suraj's house and called his domestic help as Suraj's phone was switched off.

At Suraj's behest, the help lied to Jiah and said he was in a meeting with his father Aditya Pancholi. But when the help saw Jiah standing outside, he informed Suraj. By the time Suraj sent someone out to fetch her, Jiah had left. Suraj then sent her a message to call him, which Jiah did at 10.45 pm. The heated conversation, the CBI said, was heard by Suraj's help and another person present in his house.
CCTV footage showed Jiah returned home at 10.48 pm. Suraj once again called her at 10.54 pm and this was the last conversation between the couple. Following this, ten messages sent by Suraj to Jiah between 10.56 pm and 11.21 pm went unanswered. At 11.20 pm, when Jiah's mother returned home from a party, she found her hanging from the bedroom ceiling fan.

The chargesheet also describes in detail the abortion procedure Jiah underwent when she was four weeks pregnant in January 2013. In his statement the doctor who prescribed the pills to her said that two days after consuming the pills, he received a call from Suraj stating that "half of the stuff "(foetus) was still stuck inside Jiah. The doctor advised him to take her to the hospital. However, Suraj called him again and said he had helped her pull out the "remaining stuff." The CBI said Jiah had mentioned the abortion in her note in which she said, "I was scared of getting pregnant but I gave you myself completely . The pain you have caused me everyday has destroyed every bit of me. Destroyed my soul and I aborted our baby when it hurt me deeply ."

This is the second chargesheet in the case. In January 2014, Mumbai police investigating the case filed a 447-page chargesheet. In July 2014, the HC transferred the probe to CBI on a petition filed by Jiah's mother, Rabia, who blamed police for a shoddy probe and claimed Jiah may have been murdered. But CBI too ruled it was suicide. The CBI investigations also revealed the note written by Jiah established that Suraj ruined her life. Referring to the relationship the couple shared, the investigating agency pointed out that Jiah used to clean the rooms in Suraj's flat, iron his clothes and keep them in the cupboard. On Friday Suraj made his appearance in court and was handed a copy of the chargesheet. The matter will come up for hearing on January 18 after which the court is likely to frame charges against him. Special judge A S Shende came down on the CBI for leaking information from the chargesheet even before the court had taken cognisance of it. "I read the details of the chargesheet in the newspapers. How can this happen? Please be careful. How can it come out in the media when the verification process was on in the court", the judge asked. The court also remarked to all that a media trial should be refrained from being conducted in the case.

Mother of actress Jiah Khan, who was found dead in her apartment in 2013, is fighting hard to bring justice to her daughter. We had recently reported that CBI has filed a charge sheet over the same. The Bombay High Court had asked CBI to probe into this case after Jiah Khan’s mother Rabia Khan presented the medical reports carried out privately by her. There were some differences in the medical reports presented by Police and the one presented by Rabia Khan. Therefore, the court asked CBI to investigate this case.

According to the charge sheet filed by the CBI, Sooraj Pancholi, who is the accused, in this case, apparently extricated Jiah Khan’s foetus which left an emotional scar on the Nishabd actress. A sources gave intricate details of the same and said, “After taking the medicine, Khan started haemorrhaging and called Pancholi for help.She was in pain and needed immediate medical attention but Pancholi allegedly asked her to wait and called up the gynaecologist for guidance. He was asked to rush Khan to the hospital as the foetus had probably aborted but had not been expelled from the body, which is probably what led to the hemorrhaging.” Further, the reports suggest that Sooraj feared that his relationship with Jiah would become public if Jiah was hospitalised. This would hamper his Bollywood career which was yet to begin. Therefore, Sooraj himself extricated the foetus and disposed of it in the toilet, said the reports.

This narration of Jiah Khan’s has been done in a graphic manner in the charge sheet and CBI has also presented the statement of the doctors who are among the 11 new witnesses, investigated by the CBI.

CBI claims that the actress couldn’t manage the emotional torture and was under depression leading her to commit suicide. Sooraj Pancholi was the reason behind this emotional downfall of the actress. Reports say that a case under Section 306 of IPC has been made against a Private person. Abetment to suicide is defined under Section 306 of IPC. Sooraj Pancholi is likely to be that Private Person.
