The development comes three days after the Bombay High Court had asked police to carry out further investigations on allegations made by Rabia in a petition that Jiah had been murdered and not killed herself.
A bench of Justices S C Dharmadhikari and Gautam Patel had asked Juhu police to record the statement of Rabia Khan on October 26 at the police station while disposing of Rabia's petition.
This points the finger at Suraj, son of actor couple Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab, the officer added.
"She (Rabia) elaborated the same things that were brought to the notice of the Bombay High Court by her lawyer," the officer claimed.

On June 10, Suraj had been arrested for allegedly driving Jiah to suicide, on the basis of a note left behind by her which mentioned that she was "heartbroken" in her relationship with him and fed up with his "womanising". He was released from jail on July 2 after the High Court granted him bail.
In the High Court, Jiah's mother alleged it has come to light that her daughter may have been killed and it was made to look like a suicide.
