The boyfriend of the Bollywood actress who was found dead at her home in Mumbai has been arrested on suspicion of abetting her suicide. Jiah Khan, 25, was last week found hanged by her mother at their apartment in the Indian city. Police said no suicide note was found. Suraj Pancholi, 21, the son of famous Bollywood actors Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab, had been Khan’s boyfriend for about a year and was the last person to see her alive. The arrest comes two days after Jiah’s mother and sister found a six-page letter, supposedly written by Jiah before her death, blaming her boyfriend for ruining her life, cheating on her and forcing her to abort their child. Officer D Deokar said Suraj Pancholi, confirmed that Khan committed suicide at her home in Mumbai last week. Khan began her career in the 2007 Hindi film Nishabd, in which she portrayed a teenager in love with her best friend’s father, played by Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan. She also performed with other top stars, including Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar.
