Bollywood actor Sooraj Pancholi was acquitted in the Jiah Khan suicide case on Friday. The verdict came nearly 10 years after the ‘Ghajini’ star was found hanging in her apartment.
On Friday, a special CBI court pronounced its verdict and found Sooraj Pancholi ‘not guilty’. Judge AS Sayyed cited “Due to paucity of evidence, this court can't hold you (Sooraj Pancholi) guilty, hence acquitted.”
After the judgement, Jiah Khan’s mother Rabia Khan told media reporters waiting outside the court that the cause of her daughter’ death has still not been determined. She also added that she will continue fighting for her daughter’s justice. “The cause of death is still pending, I will challenge the order,” Rabia Khan said.
In a statement, Zarina Wahab has now reacted to Rabia Khan’s comments and said that if she wants to continue fighting, she can do it. "Kehte hain na bhagwaan ke ghar der hai, andher nahi. This was an excellent illustration of it. 10 years is a long time, but God is amazing. He’s given us all a sigh of relief. Mujhe sirf upar wale par hi bharosa tha,” Sooraj Pancholi’s mother said.
Speaking on Rabia Khan, Zarna Wahab said, “Usko maine Allah he hawaale kar dia hai and wahi jawaab dega. I have nothing to say to her. God always serves justice and he did it this time as well. Jo Rabya ke saath karna hai, wo Allah karega. If she wants to continue fighting, let her do it. She also knows what the truth is. Maloom hone ke baad bhi woh aisa kar rahi hai, toh it’s her personal lookout. I don’t have anything to add to that.”
“We never begged for assistance. Na kuch maanga, humne na kisi ke aage haath phelaaye. Sirf supar waale se hi dua maangte the aur upar wale ne humaari sunn li. He took his own time, par insaaf toh mila. Bahut saari cheezein hui in 10 saalon mein. Jo hona nahi tha, wo ho gaya. But what can we do now. We can’t change what has happened. 10 saal nikal gaye par lagta hai ki jaise sab kal ki baat hai", Zarina Wahab added.
