Aditya Pancholi has not slept or eaten properly for the last three days. After all, his son Suraj is in police custody, awaiting judicial custody untill June 27.

The Pancholis have been working with some of the best lawyers in the business, and from what one hears, Jiah Khan’s mother Rabiya should brace herself for a long hard legal battle.

“Once a clearer picture emerges regarding Suraj, the Pancholis plan to file elaborate criminal and defamation cases against all those who have accused their son of serious crimes against the woman he loved," says a source close to the Pancholis

“My son has been called many names, accused of many horrible crimes," Aditya says. "As a father, I’ve borne all the humiliation that my son has undergone. My son has gone into jail as a boy but he will come out as a man. He will gain through the pain of this experience. It’s that poor girl for whom my heart reaches out. She didn’t deserve this kind of a public humiliation after her death”, said Pancholi Sr
