A Mumbai Court is expected to pronounce its final decision in the tragic suicide case of Bollywood starlet Jiah Khan tomorrow, April 28. Final arguments were said to have ended on April 20, with the judge stating that he will try to pronounce the final judgement on Friday.
According to local media outlets, the Pancholi family is positive, yet ‘anxious’ about the outcome.
Khan accused Pancholi of, among other things, physical and emotional abuse, sexual assault, and infidelity. She explained in the note that living with heartbreak had taken a toll on her so drastic, leaving her with pain so unbearable, that she was unable to continue living any longer.
Pancholi, a star kid who had not yet made his debut then, was taken into police custody during investigations in June 2013, but was granted bail shortly after. On January 31, 2018, a court in Mumbai officially charged Pancholi with abetting Khan’s suicide, under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code.
‘Positive, yet anxious’
Now, with the verdict set to be delivered tomorrow, and the end of a 10-year long court battle between Khan’s mother Rabia and the Pancholi family set to come to an end, the latter are said to be positive, yet anxious, about the outcome.
According to local media outlets, a source close to the family said, “Going by the merits of the case, the entire family is positive. But we are also anxious about the verdict, which is slated to come out on April 28 in the Special CBI Court number 52.”
Earlier, his parents vehemently denied Pancholi’s involvement in Khan’s death, stating that their son was not responsible for her decision.
