Because he held fast to his story until the toxicology report was released, this foreign born actor was never charged with the murder of his foreign born actress girlfriend.

He was upset that she was going to tell the world about the married woman he was sleeping with and he killed her. It was easy to make it look like an accident with the condition she was in.

Over the last couple of years, his version of events of that night have varied wildly and sound nothing like what he told police when he was originally arrested in her death.

They let him go when the toxicology report was released and he ended up living with the married lover until he got bored with her and moved on.

Sooraj Pancholi

Actress: Jiah Khan

Jiah Khan’s mother slams Sooraj Pancholi’s claims that she doesn’t appear in court, says ‘most of the time, the hero is not there’

Late actor Jiah Khan’s mother, Rabia Khan, has responded to Sooraj Pancholi’s claims that she doesn’t appear for court hearings in the ongoing matter about her daughter’s death. Jiah died by suicide in 2013, and in a suicide note blamed her strained relationship with Sooraj. He was booked for abetment to suicide under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code.

Rabia, in an interview to India Today, said that she has been travelling from London to India every month to appear in court. “Tell that kid to get some education,” she said. “Will the court wait for me? The case was shut by the police. Who took the case to the court? I did. I do appear for the hearing, my lawyer, team has been appearing. I have spent money like water to get justice for my daughter. Most of the time, the hero [Sooraj] is not there. The court had to wait for this accused to come. When he comes, he brings the media along and laughs like nothing happened. I fly from London every month for the hearings.” – Source

Death in Bollywood: who killed Jiah Khan?

Jiah Khan was one of India’s rising film stars. But at just 25 she was found dead in her family’s apartment. The question of whether it was suicide or murder has now pitted two of Bollywood’s leading families against each other

On 3 June 2013, Jiah Khan planned to spend the evening at home in Mumbai binge-watching Game of Thrones. The 25-year-old British Bollywood star wanted to stay awake to greet her youngest sister, Kavita, who was arriving at 3am on a flight from Heathrow. Jiah had been shopping that day and bought Kavita some gold jewellery. The sisters texted non-stop before the plane took off. “We bombarded each other with emojis,” says Kavita. “We couldn’t wait to see each other.”

Rabbiya Khan, their mother, left Jiah alone in the family’s apartment in the affluent beach suburb of Juhu at around 9pm to have dinner with friends. At 9.37pm she spoke to Jiah on her mobile. “I said the typical mummy-ish things about how she mustn’t forget to eat,” says Rabbiya. “She needed to gain weight for a film role. We laughed about how she could have any food she wanted. She sounded relaxed and happy.”

Less than two hours later Jiah was dead. Rabbiya returned home at 11.20pm to find her daughter hanging from a ceiling fan in the apartment’s spare bedroom. Her body was still warm. Rabbiya grabbed Jiah’s ankles to support her weight while she screamed for help, but Jiah was gone. When Kavita’s flight landed in Mumbai her phone started pinging “like crazy”, she says. “The first I knew of it was a voicemail from a casual friend saying she was sorry about my sister’s death. Everything around me went black.”

From the start, none of her family – her mother Rabbiya, her two sisters Karishma and Kavita, or her German stepfather Thomas Puppendahl – believed she had killed herself.

“We knew she couldn’t have done it,” says Kavita, now 25, as she sits with the family in their elegant garden flat in London’s Earl’s Court. “At first we simply trusted the police. We thought they would uncover what had really happened, and who had done this to her.” Four years on, however, the mystery of how or why Jiah died is murkier than ever.

Developments in the case have been a steady source of intrigue in India. Jiah did not leave a suicide note, but a week after she died Kavita found a six-page letter in her handwriting. The undated letter was not addressed to anyone, but the contents revealed it was to her boyfriend Sooraj Pancholi, then 22. The son of famous Bollywood duo Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab, he was an aspiring actor who had been dating Jiah for nine months. After the letter was verified, local Mumbai police arrested Sooraj and charged him with abetting her suicide. He was released on bail the next month. His trial was put on hold when Rabbiya petitioned the Bombay High Court in July 2014 to transfer the case to India’s Central Bureau of Investigation. – Source

Jiah Khan suicide case: This is what Jiah Khan’s letter to Sooraj Pancholi read

The Jiah Khan death case has seen a new turn with the CBI filing its chargesheet on December 9. The CBI has charged Jiah’s boyfriend Sooraj Pancholi with abetment to suicide under section 306 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Sooraj was in court earlier today to collect the chargesheet. The hearing in the case has been adjourned till January 17, 2016.

The letter that had been recovered from Jiah Khan’s house after the actor’s death on June 3, 2013, has been included in the CBI chargesheet. India Today has got a copy of the same. Here’s what the letter read:

I don’t know how to say this to you but I might as well now as I have nothing to lose. I’ve already lost everything. If you’re reading this I might have already left or about to leave. I am broken inside. You may not have known this but you affected me deeply to a point where I lost myself in loving you. Yet you tortured me everyday.

These days I see no light I wake up not wanting to wake up. There was a time I saw my life with you, a future with you. But you shattered my dreams. I feel dead inside. I’ve never given so much of myself to someone or cared so much. You returned my love with cheating and lies. It didn’t matter how many gifts I gave you or how beautiful I looked for you. I was scared of getting pregnant but I gave myself completely the pain you have caused me everyday has destroyed every bit of me, destroyed my soul. I can’t eat or sleep or think or function. I am running away from everything. The career is not even worth it anymore.

When I first met you I was driven, ambitious and disciplined. Then I fell for you, a love I thought would bring out the best in me. I don’t know why destiny brought us together. After all the pain, the rape, the abuse, the torture I have seen previously I didn’t deserve this. I didn’t see any love or commitment from you. I just became increasingly scared that you would hurt me mentally or physically. Your life was about partying and women. Mine was you and my work. If I stay here I will crave you and miss you. So I am kissing my 10-year career and dreams goodbye.

I never told you but I received a message about you. About you cheating on me. I chose to ignore it, decided to trust you. You embarrassed me. I never went out, I never went with anyone else. I am a loyal person. I never met anyone with Karthik I just wanted you to feel how you make me feel constantly. No other woman will give you as much as I did or love you as much as I did. I can write that in my blood.

Things were looking up for me here, but is it worth it when you constantly feel the pain of heartbreak when the person you love wants to abuse you or threatens to hit you or cheats on you telling other girls they are beautiful or throws you out of their house when you have nowhere to go and you’ve come to them out of love or when they lie to your face or they make you chase after them in their car. Or disrespects their family. You never even met my sister. I bought your sister presents. You tore my soul.

I have no reason to breathe anymore. All I wanted was love. I did everything for you. I was working for us. But you were never my partner. My future is destroyed my happiness snatched away from me. I always wished the best for you, was ready to invest what little money I had in your betterment. You never appreciated my love, Kicked me in the face. I have no confidence or self esteem left, whatever talent whatever ambition you took it all away.

You destroyed my life. It hurt me so much that I waited for you for ten days and you didn’t bother buying me something. The Goa trip was my birthday present but even after you cheated I still spent on you.

I aborted our baby when it hurt me deeply. You destroyed my Christmas and my birthday dinner when I came back. When I tried my hardest to make your birthday special. You chose to be away from me on Valentines Day. You promised me once we made it to one year we would get engaged.

All you want in life is partying, your women and your selfish motives. All I wanted was you and my happiness you took both away from me. I spent money on you selflessly you would throw in my face. When I would cry for you. I have nothing left in this world to live for after this.

I wish you had loved me like I loved you. I dreamt of our future. I dreamt of our success. I leave this place with nothing but broken dreams and empty promises. All I want now is to go to sleep and never wake up again. I am nothing. I had everything. I felt so alone even while with you. You made me feel alone and vulnerable. I am so much more than this.
