Jiah Khan Suicide Case: If convicted, Sooraj Pancholi, the son of actor couple Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab, may face a jail term of up to 10 years.
Almost 10 years after she was found hanging at her home, a special CBI court here is likely to pronounce its verdict on Friday in the Bollywood actor Jiah Khan suicide case, in which her boyfriend and film star Sooraj Pancholi has been charged with abetment.
If convicted, Sooraj Pancholi, the son of actor couple Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab, may face a jail term of up to 10 years.
Special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court judge AS Sayyad last week heard the final arguments of both sides and reserved his judgment in the case.
Jiah (25), an American citizen, was found dead at her Juhu home here on June 3, 2013. Police later arrested Sooraj Pancholi on the basis of a six-page letter, purportedly written by the Bollywood starlet, and booked him for abetment of suicide under Indian Penal Code (IPC) section 306.
