Almost a decade after Jiah Khan's death by suicide, a special CBI court in Mumbai acquitted Sooraj Pancholi,  who was Jiah's boyfriend and accused of abetting her for suicide. Pancholi's mother, Zarina Wahab, was also seen accompanying him in the Mumbai court. Pancholi was arrested in the case in June 2013 and released on bail in July 2013.  Soon after a huge court relief, actor Sooraj Pancholi reacted on Instagram. Jiah's mother Rabia Khan, a key prosecution witness in the case, had told the court that she believed it to be a case of murder and not suicide. Reacting to the verdict, she reiterated that her daughter was killed and said she will approach the high court.
