Jiah Khan death: Case against actor Suraj Pancholi reassigned to special CBI court

​By a Staff Reporter: The abetment of suicide case against actor Suraj Pancholi over the death of actor Jiah Khan has been reassigned to a special CBI court. A sessions court had last month said that it did not have jurisdiction to conduct the trial since the CBI had investigated it. Following this, it has now been assigned to a special CBI court. On Tuesday, the special CBI court held its first hearing. The court was informed that both the CBI and Pancholi had argued before the earlier court on a plea filed by the central agency seeking further examination of some evidence. The court said that since it was required to decide on the plea, it will hear the arguments afresh by both parties. It will hear the arguments on August 21.
