Actor Sooraj Pancholi is in the news again in connection with the Jiah Khan case.
He was said to be in a relationship with the Ghajini actress and got arrested for allegedly abetting her suicide.
As per ETimes, Sooraj moved to the special CBI court on Tuesday (June 28) to issue a non-bailable warrant (NBW) against Jiah’s mother Rabia Khan.
In his plea, the Hero actor reportedly claimed that Rabia had been trying to delay the trial by avoiding appearance before the court.
As the report further suggests, Sooraj’s hand-written application reads –
“The prosecution has served the summons to the original complainant several times, but she is not appearing before this court to depose her statement. The original complainant doesn’t seem to be cooperating with this court for an expeditious trial and avoiding coming before this court to delay the trial.”
The case has been adjourned for further hearing on July 7, 2022.
For the unversed, Jiah Khan, who was only 25 years old back then, had died by suicide on June 3, 2013.
