The sessions court today discharged director Kaizad Gustad from the charges of culpable homicide not amounting to murder for the death of his assistant, Briton Nadia Khan in May 2004.

Last year, a magistrate court had observed that there was prima facie evidence to engance the charges against Gustad from 'rash and negligent act' to the graver 'culpable homicide not amounting to murder', under which the accused can be sent to ten years in jail.
