Jiah Khan Death Case: CBI Searches Sooraj And Aditya Pancholi's Residences

The Central Board of Investigation (CBI) conducted a search operation at the residences of actor Aditya Pancholi and his son Sooraj Pancholi in Mumbai on Wednesday.

This was in connection with the mysterious death of actor Jiah Khan who was found dead at her Juhu home on June 3, 2012.

A spokesperson from CBI said that they found some 'incriminating documents', letters and Compact Discs in addition to some gifts presented to Sooraj by Jiah.

"We have seized certain incriminating documents and articles during the searches and these would be scrutinised by CBI teams that are investigating the case," the spokesperson said.

Delhi CBI officials were also at the search operation along with Mumbai officials. Jiah Khan's mother Rabia wanted CBI to probe whether her daugther's death was suicide or homicide.

The Bombay High Court, on plea directed the CBI to probe. Bombay HC bench of Justice VM Kanade and Justice PD Kode felt that there were possibilities of homicide although the division bench had not found any fault with the investigation.

"The possibility of someone entering from the window (and escaping without getting noticed after killing the 25-year-old actress) ought to have been investigated properly," they had said.

Jiah Khan was found hanging at her residence and she was in a relationship with actor Sooraj Pancholi which was under strain that made her take the extreme step. Sooraj was booked on charge of abetting the suicide.
