Jiah Khan's mother wants special investigation team (SIT) to probe murder angle

Mumbai, Mar 4: Rabbiya Khan mother of late actor Jiah Khan, has moved the Bombay High Court, seeking a stay on the trial in her daughter's suicide case in which actor Sooraj Pancholi is charged with abetting the crime. She has also requested for setting up of a special investigation team (SIT) to probe the case to probe the alleged murder angle as claimed by her.

The petition, filed through advocate Dinesh Tiwari, states that in October 2013, during the hearing of another petition filed by Khan, she had not pressed for a CBI probe as the HC had asked the Juhu police to record her statement and investigate as if it was a case of murder. The police had worked on these lines and filed a charge sheet, saying it was a suicide case.

Khan says she has audio recordings of a few witnesses claiming that cops on their own had added certain details to their statements. The recordings have been submitted to the HC along with her petition.

The petition also seeks direction to allow the Federal Bureau of Investigation, USA, to assist Indian agencies probing the case. Khan has requested that she be given a copy of histopathology report, a copy of videography held during post-mortem, copies of SMSes exchanged between Suraj and Jiah and a copy of Suraj's call records and his father Aditya Pancholi.

Jiah's mother has also prayed for a direction to the police to provide her with a copy of transcripts of the BBM (Blackberry Messenger Services) chat between Suraj and Jiah, copies of details of mobile tower location and allow exhuming Jiah's body so as to conduct more forensic examinations.

The petition also seeks action against police officers, investigating officer Kalpana Gadekar and then area additional commissioner of police Vishwas Nangre Patil, alleging that they had tried to shield the accused and water down the charges against him.

Kangana Ranaut attacks ‘Tejasvi Surya’, accuses him of hooliganism mistaking him for Tejashwi Yadav

News Network

May 5,2024

New Delhi, May 5: Actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut intended to target an opposition leader but mistakenly ended up attacking her BJP colleague instead.

A similarity in names - Tejashwi and Tejasvi - was behind Ms Ranaut's fumble. "There's a party of spoilt princes... whether it's Rahul Gandhi who wants to grow potatoes on the Moon, or Tejasvi Surya who does hooliganism and eats fish," she had said.

RJD leader and former Bihar deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav was supposed to be the original target of her diatribe as one of his videos where he was seen eating fish became a major flashpoint between the BJP and the opposition recently.

Tejasvi Surya, incorrectly referred to by Ms Ranaut during an election rally yesterday, is BJP's Lok Sabha candidate from Bengaluru South constituency in Karnataka.

Meanwhile, Mr Yadav has responded to a clip of Kangana Ranaut's statement. "Ye mohtarma kaun hai?" (Who is this lady?), he posted on X.

Kangana Ranaut has been verbally bashing the Congress party since the BJP fielded her as their Lok Sabha candidate from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi. Congress leaders Vikramaditya Singh - her opponent in Mandi - and Rahul Gandhi have been the main targets on her dartboard.

While addressing a public rally in the Sundernagar area of Mandi Parliamentary Constituency yesterday, Ms Ranaut took a jibe at Mr Singh and Mr Gandhi over dynasty politics and said that both of them have a magic stick for development and talk only about non-practical things.

The Congress hit back saying the 37-year-old actor should first check the facts about her party leaders and speak about dynastic politics. National Media Coordinator for the Congress, Amrit Kaur, also questioned her qualifications on which she got a BJP ticket from Mandi.

The Mandi Lok Sabha constituency will go to polls on June 1, in the seventh phase of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
