Mumbai: Rabiya Khan, a witness in the alleged suicide of her actress daughter Jiah Khan, said on Monday the CBI had edited the statement she had given it in 2014. Actor Sooraj Pancholi is accused of abetting the 2013 suicide.

Cross-examining Rabiya, Pancholi’s lawyer Prashant Patil asked, “You said before the CBI that your statement to Juhu police was shown, that you went through it and it was correct?” Rabiya replied that she had not stated so.

She said she had given the CBI a 26-page statement and it was edited by an officer. “He put his own statement. (This) portion is not correctly stated in it. The beginning is correct. I wrote a statement and sent it to him by email and he put it. I have not said the statement has been read over to me and is correct,” Rabiya said.

Patil also asked her about certain traumatic incidents that reportedly took place when Jiah was a minor. When he suggested that due to the incidents, Jiah had suffered from childhood trauma, she denied it and said highlighting them “is hurting my sentiments”.

Meanwhile, the UK-based Rabiya wanted to move a plea to re-examine the alleged dupatta that was used in the suicide and shown to her last week. She said she was uncertain and felt she didn’t it see it properly. The prosecution opposed any such move.

Patil posed several questions about various litigations and pleas moved by Rabiya, her personal life, including her film career, marriages, Jiah’s childhood and her relationship with her father. Rabiya submitted that a lawyer who had represented her during Sooraj’s bail hearing in 2013 was a fake. “I heard about it later because he sold his soul,” she said.

While the matter will come up for hearing next week, Rabiya’s cross-examination has been deferred to a later date.
