TIL Desk Bollywood/ In a setback to the prosecution in the actress Jiah Khan death case, the CBI today told a Mumbai court that it was not possible to retrieve Blackberry messages exchanged between her and her actor-boyfriend Sooraj Pancholi who is accused of abetting her suicide.
Jiah was found hanging in her flat here on June 3, 2013. She was 25. Her mother, Rabiya, had moved an application last month seeking access to the Blackberry messages exchanged between her daughter and Sooraj.
As per the reply filed in the court by special CBI prosecutor Rajendra Bhatnagar today, Sooraj’s mobile phone was sent to forensic laboratory where experts said the messages could not be retrieved.
Meanwhile, state-appointed special public prosecutor Dinesh Tiwari told the court that Rabiya’s application should be treated as a plea moved by the prosecution. However, Special judge Shaeeda Razvi said Rabiya cannot make such request as she does not have a locus standi.
