Just when we thought the Jiah Khan controversy was over, another story cropped up. Results of the forensic tests showed fragments of human flesh under Jiah's fingernails. According to experts, that is a sign of struggle before death.
Mumbai Mirror reported that the results raised a strong suspicion that her death might be a murder. Jiah's mother, Rabia always maintained that her daughter hadn't committed suicide. She has now asked for her body be exhumed and re-examined.
Dr RK Sharma, former head of Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, AIIMS, said that there might be a "strong possibility" of Jiah death being "a homicidal hanging." He blames CFSL for not investigating properly and destroying the sample which should have been sent for DNA testing.
Referring to the 300 ml of alcohol that was found in Jiah's stomach, Dr Sharma's report said that "if that amount of alcohol was found in her body, then she was clearly incapacitated and it is possible for an able-bodied person to hang an incapacitated person."
"If the police do not decide to exhume the body soon, we will file an application in the court for the same", said Dinesh Tiwari, Rabia's lawyer.
So were Rabia Khan's allegations true? Lets hope they get to the end of this case
