Aditya Pancholi in defence of son Suraj Pancholi: Suraj was at a five star hotel when Jiah Khan died

After Jiah Khan’s suicide case has been revived by the fresh revelation with latest forensic reports hinting at the actress’ murder, the father of the prime suspect Suraj Pancholi has come forward in defence of his son. Actor Aditya Pancholi revealed that his son was at a five star hotel at that time when the incident happened at Jiah’s residence.

As Jiah’s mother Rabiya Khan alleged that her daughter has been killed by someone very "close" to her, Aditya reacted saying, "We've footage of Suraj entering the hotel, spending time in there with his friend and leaving the hotel. Therefore the question of Suraj's guilt just doesn't arise.” On June 3 Jiah, the Nishabd actress, was found hangingfromthe ceiling of her Juhu residence and police termed the case as suicide at that time. As per the latest reports from Kalina Forensic Laboratory, human flesh and blood were found underneath the actress' fingernails.

Aditya, who has acted in films like Yes Boss,is willing to receive a restraining order against all such reports which name his son in the Jiah case.The actor said,"We know what Jiah's mother is implying and why she is doing what she is doing. Suraj is not the scared child that he was when Jiah's suicide toppled his world over.” "Today, after spending 21 days in one of the toughest jails in the country and having been put under the radar for no fault of his Suraj has grown up. It is being implied that I have pulled strings to get my son out of jail on bail. Tell me if I was so powerful why would I have allowed my son to languish in Arthur Road jail for 21 days?”he added. Meanwhile Suraj is getting ready for his debut in the film industry with the remake of Subhash Ghai's Hero. A proud father Aditya added further,"My boy is much stronger now. I am glad he learnt the bitter lessons so early in his life. This whole experience has toughened him.”
