Readers would recall that Sooraj Pancholi was dating Jiah Khan when she committed suicide in June 2013 at her residence in Mumbai. Soon after the incident, Sooraj Pancholi was accused of abetting her suicide by the actress’ mother Rabia Khan and later, the latter also pushed CBI to investigate the case as a homicide. However, while the homicidal investigation got dismissed, now the court has given Sooraj Pancholi clean chit on the grounds of paucity of evidence.

In an earlier statement to PTI in 2015, the Hero actor had mentioned that he is glad to have Jiah’s name associated with him, "My name will always be associated with her and I have no guilt for that. I am happy that something at least stays with me. I am sad that she ended her life. But at least her name is with me and I have no problems with it."
