The mother of Bollywood actress Jiah Khan, found dead in her Mumbai home in June last year, has called on the new Indian government to re-investigate her daughter’s death alleging that the actress had been murdered. According to India Today, London-based Rabiya Khan has maintained that her daughter was the victim of a cold-blooded murder rather than suicide and has also written to UK Foreign Secretary William Hague to intervene.

 

“From day one I am restless because I know my daughter has been murdered. It’s too early for the new government as they are just settling in but I am sure they are not ignoring it. “The whole case has to be re-investigated,” she said on the sidelines of a memorial service at the Chelsea Town Hall recently to mark the one-year anniversary of Jiah’s death. “I know it is taking time but justice takes time. But we will be there. And just because these are politically influential people, they have sabotaged the investigation. I don’t want that any other daughters out there face this kind of sabotage. Jiah Khan deserves justice as well as every girl who has suffered violence,” she added.
