Court Asks Jiah Khan's Mother To Draw List Of 'Anomalies'

August 3, 2016

Mumbai, Aug 3: The Bombay High Court today asked Rabia Khan, mother of late actress Jiah Khan whose body was found hanging from the ceiling fan in her house in 2013, to draw a list pointing out anomalies, if any, in the probe made by police and CBI into the death of her daughter.

JiahWhile the Mumbai police and the CBI have concluded that it was a case of suicide, Rabia Khan claimed her daughter was murdered and demanded that Jiah Khan's actor boyfriend Suraj Pancholi should be tried for murder and not for abetment of suicide.
Mrs Khan is demanding a probe by Special Investigation Team (SIT) alleging that CBI, currently investigating the case, had concurred with the finding of the Mumbai police that Jiah Khan's death was a case of suicide and not homicide.

A division bench headed by Justice Naresh Patil asked Rabia to prepare the list of anomalies and submit it on August 23.

The bench said the list should have three columns -- one listing anomalies in police probe, the second enumerating anomalies in CBI investigation and the third mentioning Mrs Khan's views on the points left out in the probe.

Mrs Khan's lawyer Dhairyasheel Patil pointed out anomalies saying the probe had not taken into account the BBM (mobile) messages exchanged between Jiah Khan and Suraj Pancholi.

He claimed Mr Pancholi had deleted these messages but this aspect was not considered in the probe.

Mr Patil also pointed out that the post mortem report had mentioned that Jiah Khan's neck bore an injury mark which indicated she might have been strangulated or assaulted but this too had not been considered by the investigating authorities.

Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh, however, said that CBI had consulted on the injury mark an expert from All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) who had ruled out murder while asserting that it was a case of suicide.

Mr Singh also said that the probe done by CBI was in the right direction and the allegations levelled by Mrs Khan were baseless.

Mr Pancholi was arrested on charge of abetting her suicide on June 10, 2013, a week after the body of the actress was found hanging at her residence here.

He was released on July 2, 2013, after the high court granted him bail.

New Delhi, Jul 24: With more than 50 movies under her credits and being one of the few actors from Bollywood to make a strong imprint in Hollywood, actor Priyanka Chopra started it all by winning Miss India 2000 pageant.

Chopra who is currently celebrating the completion of 20 years in the entertainment industry, on Friday looked back and reacted to the video where she was crowned as Miss India.
The' Fashion' actor shared a video on Instagram, where she is seen watching the throwback video. The 'Dostana' actor recalled winning the title and joked about her sense of style and poses back then.

Sharing the reaction video, she wrote: "Alright guys, we're doing this! I'm watching footage from my Miss India pageant in 2000! This is where it all began... If you've never seen these before, you are in for quite a treat. #20in2020 @feminamissindia."

Throughout the video, the 'Gunday' actor is seen casually commenting on her hairstyle, enacting her own movement on stage, and also recalled her luscious hair, which she now wonders where it all got lost.

However, she took a moment to appreciate the "clever and profound" answer she gave for the question that won her the crown.

While watching the winning moment, the 'Don' star noted how she never expected to win it. She explained that she had a train booked as she was to go back and take her board exams.

Going through the old photographs that run parallel to the video, she says: "These pictures are hard to look at." Pausing at a particular photograph, she laughs and says, "I don't even know how to do that pose."

"Well, this is where everything started. These are the pictures that sent me to Tinseltown," said the actor towards the end of the video.
