Jiah Khan murder case: Court asks prosecution to file draft charges

The special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court of the Session's court has decided to initiate with the trial in the Jiah Khan's murder case. The prosecution is asked to file draft charges against the accused on the next date.

Actor Sooraj Pancholi, who is accused of the alleged murder case, had moved an application before the court to expedite the matter. The application said that the matter been already prolonged for quite a while, thus requesting the court to run the matter on day to day basis.

It was however opposed by the complainant, Rabiya Khan on the grounds that she has to approach the Apex court seeking orders in her application to set a special investigating team (SIT) to investigate the matter. The court however reprimanded Rabiya's lawyer for the same, claiming that it is not a private complaint, but a matter contested by the state against Sooraj.
 
The court held that if she wants to bring things before the court, then she should assist the prosecution. British American actress Jiah Khan was found hanging from a ceiling fan at her flat in the Sagar Sangeet building in Juhu on June 3, 2013.
