Jiah's death created sensation in the media, and was widely reported in India and also in the UK, where the 25-year-old actress was raised.
Her apparent suicide came right after a spat she had with Pancholi, who was subsequently charged with abetment of suicide a week later.
He was also arrested on June 11, 2013, but was later granted bail by the High Court.

Meanwhile, Jiah's mother Rabia Khan filed a petition in the court seeking transfer of the case to CBI.
The case was transferred to CBI in July 2014, and after two years of probe, the investigative body ruled out any possibility of murder.
Last year in January, the case got revived when a Mumbai sessions court framed charges against Pancholi for allegedly abetting Jiah's suicide.
