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.
