The medical reports related to actress Jiah Khan's abortion have been received from a hospital were the procedure was conducted, police said here on Wednesday.

"There have been no new developments so far. We have received the medical reports from the hospital where the foetus was aborted," a police officer told IANS.

A lawyer of arrested suspect Suraj Pancholi, son of actor Aditya Pancholi, said they will be able to give out more information later.

"We will be able to give out more information tomorrow," said Zameer Khan, who appeared for Suraj in a city court.

Suraj was arrested June 10 for allegedly abetting the suicide of Jiah Khan. He will be questioned in police custody till June 13.

Jiah mentioned about her abortion in her six-page letter, which was handed to police by her mother, police said.

Police sought the report on the abortion to corroborate the information in Jiah's letter.

Suraj's arrest came barely two days after Jiah's family handed over to police the note penned by her. It was recovered by the actress's kin three days after her suicide June 3. — TOI
