Jiah Khan death case to be tried before a special CBI court, Sooraj Pancholi's mother Zarina Wahab reacts: 'If my son is guilty..."

Sooraj Pancholi’s trial in the Jiah Khan death case will now be heard by a special CBI court and the actor’s mother Zarina Wahab has now welcomed the decision of the transfer as pronounced by a sessions court in Mumbai. The actress said that her son has already suffered enough in this case for the past 8 – 9 years and they always wanted the case to be expedited.

The actress spoke about the case and told ETimes recently, "We wanted this trial to be expedited. Eight-nine years is a very long time. My son has suffered through this period and this was not fair to him. My husband and I and all our family members had faith in God and the judiciary."

“We all believe that if my son is guilty, he should be penalised, but if he is not, he must also get his clean chit from the Court. He should have the right to move on,” she added.

Actress Jiah Khan who was dating Sooraj Pancholi died in 2013 in her apartment. Her mother Rabia Khan holds Sooraj responsible for the death of the actress. Zarina while talking about the case that has been going on since said that it has been a terrible time for their family.

"I feel bad for my baccha for what he has endured. I also feel the pain of the mother who lost her daughter. Most parts of the last 10 years were terrible for us. Each time I saw Sooraj's face, I knew what he was feeling. He and I would avoid looking at each other because we could both could read each other's minds. We would both get worried and were unable to hide our feelings," expressed Zarina.

The veteran actress welcomed the court’s decision to transfer the case to a CBI court and said that it’s what the family wanted and is happy they will find closure.
