Jiah Khan: Special India court to deliver final verdict against Sooraj Pancholi tomorrow

After a long wait of a decade, a special CBI Court will pronounce its judgment on the death of model-actress Jiah Khan tomorrow, April 28.

British Indian Khan, who appeared in a couple of Indian films, was found hanged in her Juhu flat on June 3, 2013.


Bollywood actor Sooraj Pancholi, who was dating the actress, was accused of abetment to suicide in this case. The police had also arrested him after a suicide letter purportedly written by Khan was found. Pancholi was booked under section 306 (abetment to suicide).

Special Central Bureau of Investigatio (CBI) Judge AS Sayyad on Thursday heard the final arguments of both sides and reserved his judgment in the case. The final decision will be announced tomorrow at 10.30 a.m. The hearing will take place at the Special CBI court in Mumbai, in courtroom number 52.

A leading Indian daily spoke to a member of the Pancholi family who revealed their hopes and expectations from the final verdict.

The family member was quoted saying, “Going by the merits of the case, the entire family is positive. But we are also anxious about the verdict which is slated to come out on April 28 in the Special CBI Court number 52.”

For those not in the know, Sooraj Pancholi is the son of actors Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab. His parents have also maintained that their son is not responsible for Khan’s death and is innocent.

Kannada priest makes India’s first AI film without actors or crew on £9,500 budget

In a quiet village near Bengaluru, a temple priest has done something no one expected. He made a full-length Kannada film without hiring a single actor, technician or musician. Narasimha Murthy, who serves at the Hanumantharai Temple in Siddehalli, created Love You, a 95-minute film entirely powered by Artificial Intelligence.

Murthy didn’t come from a film background, nor did he have access to a big team. Instead, he joined hands with Nuthan, a graphic designer who taught himself how to use AI tools. Together, the two-man team used around 30 different AI applications to design the cast, create visuals, generate drone-like shots, compose music and even script dialogues. The film cost £9,500 (₹10 lakh) to make, most of which went into buying software licences, and took just six months to complete.
