One of the most popular cases in Bollywood Jiah Khan’s suicide case remained in limelight. Her mother Rabia Khan is fighting for her daughter till today. The death case is presently being probed by the CBI, which had charged actor Sooraj Pancholi, Jiah's boyfriend at the time of her death, for abetting her suicide on June 3, 2013. The late actor’s mother Rabia had alleged that Jiah was murdered.
The court said, "Repeated insistence of the petitioner (Rabia Khan) to procure a finding from the court that death of the victim (Jiah Khan), in this case, was homicidal and not suicidal is a clear indication of procrastinating the trial. This conduct of the petitioner amounts to unnecessarily procrastinating and delaying the trial which is in progress before the trial court. It appears that petitioner wants this court to return a finding in her favour that the death of the victim was homicidal and not suicidal, even before the trial is over."

It further added, "Prima facie it does appear that a totally impartial, fair and transparent investigation is made by the CBI in a thorough manner," the court said. The judges further said in court that every angle of medical evidence and circumstantial evidence, the conduct of the accused and/or cause of the incident, everything was re-considered with a fresh angle to ascertain and verify whether it can be a case of 'homicidal death' and then only after confirming that it was a case of suicidal nature, the CBI had filed its further report (supplementary charge sheet).
