Jiah Khan Death Case: Sooraj Pancholi Finally Acquitted By Special CBI Court Due To Paucity Of Evidence

A special CBI court has finally cleared Sooraj Pancholi of the charge of abetment in the case of the death of Jiah Khan back in 2013.

Sooraj Pancholi can finally breathe a sigh of relief. He has been acquitted of the charges of abetment to suicide in the Jiah Khan death case which has been going on since 2013. The actress reportedly committed suicide at her Juhu residence on June 3, 2013.

A special CBI court earlier today cleared Sooraj Pancholi on ground of ‘paucity of evidence’. He was facing charges under section 306 of the Indian Penal Code which entails abatement of suicide.

As per a report on Indian Express, judge AS Sayyed of the special CBI court in Mumbai said, “Due to paucity of evidence, this court can’t hold you (Sooraj Pancholi) guilty, hence acquitted.”

For the unversed, the trial of the case began in 2019.
