Pancholi was arrested after Khan’s mother, Rabia Khan, made her suicide letter public. Khan’s last phone call was to Pancholi. In the letter Khan spoke of having been physically and emotionally abused, and of having had an abortion against her will, though she does not take any names. A post-mortem had revealed that no marks were found on Khan’s body other than the marks on her throat. No traces of alcohol or drugs were found either, and a doctor has testified that Khan was depressed. Pancholi is the son of actors Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab, and he reportedly dated Khan for a year before the relationship ended. “There is a suicide note, there is a statement of (Khan’s) mother and some circumstantial evidence of triggering ,” said Additional Police Commissioner Vishwas Nangre-Patil to news agency AFP.
