JUST IN - A special CBI Court acquitting actor #SoorajPancholi in the Jiah Khan case observed,

"No doubt, it is an unfortunate incidence that young girl has committed suicide. The available evidence on record reflects..

#JiahKhan #SoorajPancholi

...that the deceased was a victim of her sentiments. She could not overcome her emotions."

#JiahKhan #SoorajPancholi

"At the relevant time, the accused was pursuing his career in acting and admittedly could not devote sufficient time for the deceased. However, on the earlier occasion, when the deceased tried to commit suicide the accused had saved her."

#JiahKhan #soorajpancholi

CBI court - "He had helped her to come out of the depression."

#JiahKhan #soorajpancholi

Prosecution has utterly failed to produce sufficient, cogent and dependable evidence on record to establish the ingredients of 306 IPC

#JiahKhan #SoorajPancholi

COURT - Evidence on record against accused is vague and general. No overt act or role can be attributed to the accused. Absolutely no evidence to show that on 3.6.2013 #SoorajPancholi acted in any manner which could reflect mens rea that he wanted #JiahKhan to commit suicide.

COURT - Therefore in the absence of any mens rea, instigation or aid it cannot be said that the accused had driven her to commit suicide on that day.

On Jiah's mother Rabia Khan's allegations calling the death Murder not suicide.

Medical evidence makes it clear that Jiah Khan died due to hanging and not as stated by the complainant in evidence.

#JiahKhan #SoorajPancholi

On Jiah's mother's claim that Sooraj Pancholi sent her a break up bouquet and therefore she committed suicide.

"On the point of break up bouquet theory there is only one witness, the watchman. In the entire evidence he did not whishper that the accused sent a bouquet to the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

CBI Court-Letter allegedly written by Jiah found after the suicide detailing the tumultuous relationship.

The gap of 4 days in getting available the said letter remains unexplained...

On Allegation the Sooraj FORCED Jiah to terminate her pregnancy.

It cannot be ignored that the deceased had suicidal tendencies. It has come on record that on an earlier occasion the deceased had attempted to commit suicide and the accused who had called upon a doctor.

Court - #SoorajPancholi had treated the deceased and had tried to get her out of the said depression. Mother's evidence relfects that she was not even aware of such an incident till the accused disclosed it to her.

#JiahKhan #SoorajPancholi

Court -Nothing to indicate that #Jiah had at any point of time questioned the accused. The said acts (abortion) weas out of her own volition and therefore it cannot be said that the accused had forced the deceased to undergo a medical termination of pregnancy.

Letter by Jiah never reach Sooraj Pancholi

Court - Letters which were found by the sister of Jiah were not addressed to anybody. It had been allegedly stated that #SoorajPancholi had shattered her dreams that she had lost herself in her love and yet he tortured her everyday.

Court-One thing is clear that this script appears to have never reached the accused and they were found in their original form in the house of the deceased. And therefore it cannot be said that the emotions reflected in the letter had ever reached the accused.

#SoorajPancholi

Court - By giving such openly contradictory evidence, the complainant RABIA KHAN herself destroyed the case of the prosecution.

#JiahKhan #SoorajPancholi

Court - The complainant RABIA KHAN has openly shown distrust in the prosecution. When the case of the prosecution was of suicide, the complainant stated it was of murder.

#JiahKhan #SoorajPancholi

Court on Rabia Khan - When expert witnesses gave their opinion regarding cause of death of the deceased as suicidal, the complainant - Rabia Khan - took exactly contradictory view stating that doctors have given a wrong opinion.

#JiahKhan #SoorajPancholi

Court on Rabia Khan - The complaint raised doubts even on the doctor who conducted the postmortem examination. The complainant raised doubts on everyone except herself.

#JiahKhan #SoorajPancholi

Court - It has come on record that 20 days after the death of #JiahKhan the complainant Rabia Khan got her 2nd daughter engaged at Mumbai. The conduct as such doesn't look like that of a normal person who in such a grief situation, celebrates such a program
