Police ofiicers of the Juhu police station are currently questioning the son of Aditya Pancholi in relation to the Jiah Khan suicide case.

The last call received by the starlet was from Suraj Pancholi, a little before 11 pm. Police sources said they spoke for nearly 30 minutes.

Jiah alias Nafisha Khan then committed suicide a little before 11.30 pm on Monday by hanging herself from the ceiling fan in her Juhu flat where she lived with her mother. 

While the body of the 25-year-old actress was first taken to the casualty morgue of the RN Cooper Hospital in Vile Parle, police later sent the body to the JJ Hospital, Byculla, for a forensic examination and autopsy.

Sources also said police had seized Khan's cellphone and laptop from her residence and were scanning her call records. No suicide note was found.

Khan and her mother lived in a first floor apartment in Sagar Sangeet building, opposite Amitabh Bachchan's bungalow in Juhu.

"As of now it is not clear that why she took such a drastic step. Her mother is in state of shock. The cause of death will be clear after the post mortem report arrives. From preliminary investigations, it appears that she was in depression since the past few months," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone IX) Chherring Dorje.

Khan had worked with Amitabh Bachchan in Nishabd in 2007 and Amir Khan in Ghajini in 2008. She had also worked in Housefull in 2010.
