Bombay HC rejects Jiah’s mother’s plea

-

The Bombay High Court on Thursday declined a plea for setting up a Special Investigat­ion Team (SIT) to probe the death of Bollywood actress Jiah Khan on June 3, 2013. The plea was filed by Jiah’s mother, Rabia Khan.

Claiming that her US citizen daughter was murdered, Khan has also contested the investigat­ors’ version that she allegedly committed suicide by hanging at her home in the posh Juhu area of Mumbai that evening. A division bench comprising Justice Ranjit More and Justice Shalini Phansalkar-Joshi ruled that since the matter is already being probed by the Central Bureau of Investigat­ion (CBI) there was no need to interfere.
