There
may be more trouble for Sooraj Pancholi for his alleged role in
model-turned-actress Jiah Khan's suicide. The Juhu police are
contemplating charging Sooraj with an additional section of harassment
based on the sixpage letter found by Jiah's mother, Rabia, who has also
told the police that Jiah and Sooraj were in a livein relationship.
Vishwas Nangre Patil, additional Commissioner of police (west region), said, "We plan on charging Sooraj under section 498(a) of the domestic violence act. A recent supreme court judgement stated a live-in relationship is similar to marriage and victims of violence in a live-in can also file complaints under the section."
Those found guilty under the act can face imprisonment up to three years. Twenty-two-year-old Pancholi was remanded to police custody till June 13 for allegedly abetting Jiah Khan's suicide.
The police in their remand copy mentioned Sooraj had physically abused Jiah. According to the police officers Rabiya had told them that the bouquet sent by Sooraj to Jiah before her suicide was a break-up bouquet.
In her letter, Jiah had also mentioned she had an abortion. Cops said they will speak to the doctors who treated Jiah and conducted her abortion. The police have also mentioned five letters exchanged between Jiah and Sooraj that were found in the latter's house. "We will question Sooraj about these letters," added Patil. MMB
