Rabia Khan, the grieving mother of the late Bollywood actress Jiah Khan, publicly expressed alarm over the handling of evidence in the Disha Salian murder probe after the name of actor Sooraj Pancholi surfaced in the recent FIR. Speaking to ABP News, she highlighted the similarity between Salian’s case and her own daughter’s, where she believes crucial proof was altered or eliminated to mislead investigators.
The FIR, filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation nearly six years after Salian’s death on June 8, 2020, was issued following a directive from the Bombay High Court. It lists several high‑profile individuals—including Aaditya Thackeray, Rhea Chakraborty, Sooraj Pancholi, Dino Morea and Rohan Roy—alongside police officers, a doctor and a chemical analyst. Advocate Nilesh Ojha, representing Salian’s father Satish Salian, said the complaint cites sections 376D, 302, 201, 217, 218 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code, alleging gang rape, murder and a subsequent cover‑up, and he claimed that forensic records have been tampered with.
Rabia’s remarks draw on her experience with the Jiah Khan case, where she alleged that vital evidence was destroyed, making it harder to uncover the truth. She warned that if similar lapses occur in Salian’s investigation, families may be left without answers and the justice system’s credibility could suffer. Her call underscores broader concerns about evidence preservation in high‑profile criminal cases across India.
