Twist in Jiah Khan death case
on Sep 20, 2016
Actress Jiah Khan, who had been dating actor Aditya Pancholi's son, Sooraj, was found hanged in her Juhu apartment on June 3, 2013. Jiah Khan case, currently under investigation by the CBI, a British forensic expert hired by Jiah's mother, Rabiya, has found that the hanging was staged. According to the report, Payne-James studied the medical and post-mortem reports, analyzed photographs of Jiah's body and reviewed CCTV grabs and her room pictures for investigation.
Local forensic experts had stated that the injury marks on Jiah's lower lip were probably the result of "friction with the teeth during the commission of the act [suicide]". Contradicting this, Payne-James has said the injuries "represent either abrasions or bruises", and are indicative of "blunt force trauma to the mouth region (for example punching or a hand placed over the mouth)," the report says. Khan's debut in Bollywood happened alongside Amitabh Bachchan in the controversial film Nishabd in 2007. Jiah then went on to work in Ghajini (2008) with Aamir Khan.
