The dupatta of actor Jiah, which had inexplicably gone 'missing', was finally located at the Forensic Science Laboratory, Kalina. The dupatta was with them ever since the incident in June that year. On June 20, 2017, the CBI and the Juhu police probing the Jiah Khan case submitted the articles, including the dupatta used for hanging, to the special woman's court. The lawyers of Jiah's mother, Rabia, had raised concerns about the missing dupatta, which is crucial evidence for the forensic evaluation to rule out either suicide or homicide. The dupatta, according to the lawyers, was never collected by the CBI, thereby raising serious concerns about the investigation and the subsequent charge sheet that the CBI filed. It was only after this question was raised before the court that the police collected the dupatta from the FSL
