Sonu alias Wafi Khan has reportedly told Crime Branch officials that he was in love with actress Laila Khan and desired to marry her, but his father was against the match. While being questioned by cops on July 14, Sonu revealed that he was in a relationship with the starlet — now believed murdered at the side of five relatives — after having met her in October 2010.
According to his statement, Sonu’s father Kamal Jadhvani was not happy in regards to the relationship, as his son had spent lakhs of rupees in five months. Also, Laila being older than Sonu by seven years upset Kamal.
Sonu told the police that he married a manager from his own pub at Juhu, after Kamal agreed, on February 12, 2011 at a five-star hotel within the city. Sonu, who has completed his studies from Dubai, claimed he had earlier intended to marry an MTV video jockey, but then he met Laila and fell in love along with her. The primary meeting between the couple happened on the Qasba hotel in Oshiwara.
As soon as reports came out that Laila was missing, Kamal ordered Sonu to go away the rustic as he was an acquaintance of the actress and his name could crop up within the investigation. Sonu followed his father’s advice, shutting down his pub.
Sources at unit VIII of Crime Branch said they're now questioning Sonu to determine why he got married at across the same time when Laila went missing. “Sonu had fled to Dubai from where he was summoned for questioning. We'd also love to know why he fled to Dubai immediately after the inside track of Laila being missing appeared within the media last August,” said an officer.
Crime Branch officials also asked Sonu why he had kept changing his mobile number frequently prior to now one year.
Sonu also said that he had fixed up jobs for Laila and her family in Dubai. He had promised a boutique for her mother Saleena Patel, and a role for Imran, Laila’s brother, as a mobile company executive. Zara, the actress’ sister, was promised stage shows and modelling assignments.
