A 25 - year- old Bollywood Actress Jiah Khan Suicide case is back after three years with some shocking new insight stories.

Yes! According TOI reports states that it is not a suicide case the hanging was staged and the marks on her face is not a simple case of suicide. A British forensic expert report added adding a new twist to the three-year-old case.

Jiah Khan the actress who had been dating actor Sooraj Pancholi found hanged at her Juhu apartment on June 3, 2013. Rabia Jiah’s mother repeatedly said that she could not committed suicide and filed a petition through High Court and asked CBI to take up the case.

After 3 years the case is back and the forensic report says – Jiah Khan suicidee Case is not a suicide case. Last year, the agency charged Sooraj Pancholi with abetment to suicide. Unhappy with the probe, Rabia hired Payne-James of UK-based Forensic Healthcare Services Ltd by her own it is not state.

Payne-James studied the medical reports and post-mortem reports and analyzed the photographs of Jiah's body posture the way she hanged and also reviewed CCTV grabs and pictures of her room for his investigation.

Forensic experts had said the injury marks on Jiah's lower lip were probably the result of -

"friction with the teeth during the commission of the act [suicide]". But Payne-James has said the injuries "represent either abrasions or bruises", and is indicative of "blunt force trauma to the mouth region (for example punching or a hand placed over the mouth)".
"In terms of their site and appearance, they are not typical of teeth marks," the report states.

State forensic experts had said the ligature marks on Jiah's neck -

"may be caused due to slippage of ligature material [dupatta] slightly downwards or the ligature knot present at that site".

Payne-James said that the dupatta could not have created such impressions on her neck -

"It would seem unlikely that the diffuse pressure of the dupatta around the neck would cause the well-defined abraded ligature mark seen,"

He said -

that dupatta cannot create such marks on Jiah's lower jaw he says the injury may have been caused by multiple knots on the dupatta.

Payne-James's report states

“I would have expected any forensic specialist to have insisted on seeing the dupatta. I do not see that there is any realistic possibility of the dupatta creating the patterned injury under the chin. Other causes or objects should have been considered such as a blunt impact from a patterned object, or a ligature made of different material,”

Payne-James's questioned Indian investigators' to explain the theory of suicide

"I do not believe that the possibility of a staged hanging after death that has been caused previously has been properly considered (e.g. ligature strangulation with some other material and then Nafisa Khan being 'hung' with the dupatta)," he has said. Jiah's real name was Nafisa Rizvi Khan.

He adds:

"The marks on the left arm and the lower lip are consistent with assaultive injuries... the marks of ligature and the mark on the chin are not consistent with simple hanging with the dupatta."

Payne-James says Indian forensic experts should once again go thoroughly by all the evidence

"There are a number of serious misinterpretations (or exclusions of reasonable inferences) of the medical evidence, and that the apparent intention to attribute her death to suicide may mean that the real possibility of a staged hanging subsequent to earlier death at the hands of another has been missed,"
Dinesh Tiwari, Rabia's counsel said the findings showed that Indian investigators had not done a thorough job. "We will approach the court to take these findings into consideration," he said.

The actor Aditya Pancholi raised question about the forensic report and said

 "This report is from a private forensic lab and it's paid. We will see if a court admits it or not. The investigations have been done by different agencies and all of them have come to the same conclusion [that it was a suicide],"

Senior criminal lawyer Rizwan Merchant.

"Any expert opinion is admissible before the court and the findings are taken into serious consideration. Now, what evidence was made available to the forensic lab that prepared the report holds key value,"
