Jiah suicide: Suraj Pancholi's bail hearing today

June 14, 2013 09:00

The bail plea of Suraj Pancholi, held on the charge of abetting suicide of actress Jiah Khan, is expected to be taken up by a sessions court in Mumbai today.

Suraj has pleaded in the bail application that his custodial interrogation was not required at this juncture as police had already recorded statements of witnesses and recovered some articles from his house to prove the case.

21-year-old Suraj, son of actor couple Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab, was produced before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Seema Jadhav who rejected the remand application for extending his police custody.

Instead, the court remanded Suraj in judicial custody which entitled him to seek bail.

Prosecutor A K Pancharane argued that police had found the word "rape" in the letter purportedly written by Jiah to her boyfriend three days before her death and they wanted to probe this angle.
