Jiah Khan Dead, Bollywood UPDATE: Forensics Report Indicates Actress Was Drunk At Time Of Suicide, Boyfriend Suraj Pancholi Acquitted?

Rumors reported several days ago that Bollywood actress Jiah Khan had traces of alcohol in her bloodstream at the time she committed suicide have been confirmed by a source within the Mumbai police department. If the case can be made that Khan was intoxicated when she hung herself, it would take away from the argument that ex-boyfriend Suraj Pancholi was responsible by abetting her suicide. Pancholi could still have had an impact on her decision, but the prescense of alcohol would suggest Khan's mind was not stable at the time of the act. 

MK Malve, the director of the Kalina Forensics Laboratory, has refused to give any details from the report he submitted regarding Khan's death. However a source indicated that there were in fact traces of alcohol, although no numbers were given to suggest how much. 

If the rumor were to prove true, it could cast a shadow on the character of Khan, which would take away from the argument her family is making against Pancholi. Khan left a lengthy suicide note addressed to an unnamed subject, that accuses said subject of abuse, rape, and also alleges that Khan received an abortion. Khan's mother Rabia told police that the actress had complained to her of abuse and that she had signs of abuse on her face at the time of her death. The autopsy released nearly a month ago established that Khan showed no sign of physical abuse, but police did obtain records from a Mumbai hospital that confirmed the actress did undergo an abortion procedure.

Pancholi was held in prison for nearly a month without bail because police believed his freedom would endanger the investigation. A Mumbai court struck down the arguments of the police and allowed Pancholi to be freed on bail.
