Jiah suicide: 'I am a mother too and I know my son'

June 14, 2013 10:07

Defending her son Suraj, who has been arrested for abetting the suicide of his girlfriend and actress Jiah Khan, Zarina Wahab insists that truth will eventually come out.

Jiah, 25, was found hanging at her flat in Sagar Sangeet Building in the posh Juhu area on June 3 around midnight. She apparently left a suicide note, which points fingers towards actor Aditya Pancholi and Zarina's son Suraj.

Jiah and Suraj were in a relationship for quite some time and reportedly there were problems between the couple, which seem to have forced her to take the extreme step.

"Police are investigating the case, whatever allegations and charges... Truth will come out. We are confident police will investigate the matter and truth will prevail," Zarina told PTI.

Jiah's mother Rabiya has been quite vocal about her dislike towards Suraj, holding him responsible for her daughter's suicide.

"Let her mother say whatever she wants. I am a mother too and I know my son. My son is not responsible for her death. He will prove to be innocent. We are co-operating with the authorities," she said.
