CBI filed a charge sheet in 'Nishabd' actress Jiah Khan's suicide case. The accused in this case is Soorja Pancholi, son of Bollywood actor Aditya Pancholi.

Actress Jiah Khan, was found dead at her home here on June 3, 2013. Police investigated and arresed Sooraj on the basis of a six-page letter, supposedly written by the 'Nishabd' girl, and booked him for 'abetment of suicide'.

Post that Sooraj was granted bail by Bombay High Court after the actor filed an appliction which contended that two were in a consensual relationship, and the letter was being misused by Jiah's mother Rabiya.

Rabiya had moved the Bombay High Court alleging that her daughter had been murdered, seeking a CBI probe.

The suburban Juhu police on January 16, 2013, had filed a 447-page charge sheet in Andheri magistrate's court before the case was transferred to CBI in July, 2014.

Meanwhile, special public prosecutor Dinesh Tiwari today expressed surprise at CBI's move."I was never informed about the charge sheet and the conclusion that the agency had arrived at," Tiwari told PTI.Tiwari, who had also appeared for Jiah's mother Rabiya, said that he will oppose the charge sheet if CBI concludes the death as a suicide.[sic]
