After Sooraj Pancholi’s acquittal, Jiah Khan’s mother Rabia Khan has issued a statement where she termed the trial as ‘mockery of the judicial system’.

Jiah Khan died on 3^rd June, 2013. Post that, Sooraj Pancholi was accused of abetting the suicide of the actress. Last month, Sooraj got clean chit from the CBI court in the Jiah Khan death case. Days after Sooraj Pancholi’s acquittal, Rabia Khan, mother of Jiah Khan, has issued a statement. Rabir shared her disappointment as she slammed Sooraj for distributing sweets post his acquittal. She also termed the trial as ‘mockery’ of the judicial system.

According to IndiaTV News, Rabia said in her statement, “This case was on the wrong track from the very beginning. All the evidence were pointing to homicidal death. Sooraj Pancholi was accused of the wrong crime to start with. How can it be possible that police accused him of the crime when they had no evidence? All the evidence that I had given to CBI like forensic experts reports that pointed to murder was simply ignored and was never produced before the honourable court by the prosecution.”

Rabia went on to add that the entire judgement was a ‘mockery of the judiciary system’. She said, “The court was following a higher court order, pre-trial, the path they predetermined for the trial court to follow to give an acquittal to the accused only to close the case. In long ten years both the agencies of India – the police and CBI did not find one single piece of legally relevant evidence for suicide, it requires convincing evidence of an accused having directly driven the victim to commit suicide immediately before the act, and prove any abetment of suicide allegations against the accused Sooraj Pancholi. The burden of proof was so high, all the parties involved must have known the outcome but none of it made legally or rationally any sense.”

Rabia slams Sooraj…

Rabia further expressed her disappointment and slammed Sooraj for distributing sweets post his acquittal. Jiah’s mother called him a ‘liar’. She said, “Sooraj was an accused and he lied through his teeth and both the agencies throughout honoured his lies for reasons best known to them.” Adding to that, Rabia feels ‘disappointed that yet again the system that we expect to protect us and serve us justice has failed us and made a mockery of its own system.”

She added, “The fact that he handed out sweets outside the courtroom illustrates this and sums up his mercilessness. Sooraj will one day have to grapple with the demons that he walks with. I have made peace with the loss of my daughter and I leave to God to administer justice on whoever murdered my daughter.”
