Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Thursday declined a plea for setting up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the death of Bollywood actress Jiah Khan.

Rabia in February last year had filed a petition in the Bombay High Court, seeking a SIT probe in the case.

Earlier, she had filed a petition in the High Court against the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) report categorising the actress's death on June 3, 2013, as suicidal and not homicidal.

Jiah's boyfriend-actor Sooraj Pancholi was arrested for abetting her suicide on June 10, 2013, but released on July 2 the same year after the High Court granted him bail.

She was found dead in her Juhu apartment in Mumbai on June 3, 2013.-IANS
