Rabia Khan

In response to Jiah Khan's mother Rabia Khan's application for the call data records of Sooraj Pancholi, his friends and his father, along with access to his BlackBerry Messenger messages, the court on Monday directed her to discuss it with the prosecutor and ask him to seek it for her. In addition, Rabia sought that the reports she has received from her forensic experts be attached to the chargesheet.

The CBI told the court that it had carried out an in-depth probe in the BBM messages with the forensic lab in Gandhinagar after it handed over the recovered BlackBerry to the lab. Additional messages that Rabia is alluding to, however, could not be recovered. Also, analysis of the CDRs of Aditya did not reveal anything incriminating, whereas the same of Sooraj's friends - Devraj Chaudhari and Karan Joshi - were not furnished by the local police station and could not be retrieved despite efforts.
