MUMBAI: Mumbai police on Monday arrested bollywood actress Jiah Khan’s friend Suraj Pancholi in connection with her suicide, Indian media reported.
Suraj Pancholi, son of actors Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab, reportedly dated Jiah Khan for nearly a year. He was the last person she spoke to on the phone on the night of June 3, police said, before hanging herself in her Mumbai home on June 3.
Suraj and his father Aditya Pancholi were questioned by Mumbai police for three hours on June 4.
The 25-year-old Jiah left no suicide note. However, a six-page letter addressed to an unnamed person was found and handed over to the police by her family.
In the letter, which appears to be written to a former or present boyfriend, Jiah says, “If you’re reading this I might have already left or about to leave. I am broken inside.”
Jiah talks about “kissing goodbye” her film career and claims that a promise of an engagement after a year of dating was broken.
“Your life was about partying and women. Mine was you and my work. If I stay here I will crave you and miss you,” says Jiah, accusing the boyfriend of cheating on her, in the poignant letter.
Jiah’s mother Rabiya Amin Khan told the press, “The letter does not have a name, so who it is addressed to is something you can only ask Jiah. But because of the incidents in the past and what she told me, all of these things point out to Suraj Pancholi.” She also said that she had urged her daughter to end the relationship.
