Bombay HC to hear Jiah Khan suicide case o n June 7
Following the Supreme Court’s call to expedite the decision on actress Jiah Khan’s suicide case, the Bombay High Court is set to hear the matter on June 7. Jiah’s mother Rabiya Khan told the apex court in her plea that the trial court was hearing the matter in an improper manner, adding that the matter was being heard without the presence of a Special Public Prosecutor. Jiah’s mother in her plea also demanded an SIT investigation in the case.
