In the plea, he requested an expedition in the trial proceedings. Jiah Khanâs case was transferred to a special CBI court in 2021. According to the session court judges, "In the present matter, the investigation is carried out by CBI/SCB (which) filed a supplementary charge sheet. The special courts are established for the trial of cases exclusively investigated by the CBI and a special judge is appointed to deal with said cases. I do not have the power to deal with cases filed by the CBI. Therefore, in my view, it is necessary to transfer the present case to CBI court.â On 28 April 2023, the special CBI court in Mumbai acquitted him in the Jiah Khan suicide case. In its judgment, the court said that Jiah Khan's mother "destroyed the case of the prosecution" by giving contradictory statements and withholding facts. While reacting to the verdict, Jiah Khan's mother, Rabia Khan, said that she will challenge the verdict in the high court. Rabia Khan said, "The verdict is on alleged suicide, but I have always maintained that Jiah was murdered. This, in fact, strengthens my case." check sources NDTV |

In an interview, while talking about his involvement in the Jiah Khan suicide case, he said,
I am a little satisfied with this because my case should have been in the special CBI Court from the beginning. Now that the matter is in the CBI Court, I am hopeful that we will see closure to this. If the court finds me guilty, I should be penalised, but if it doesnât, I deserve to be set free from these charges.â
He added,
No one understands that it was her decision to do that (commit suicide), you know, it was her choice. It was her mental state to do that. And I think to blame someone for it is really unfair. Because today what if I do that to myself? Who will get blamed? I would blame the media for it because they have put a lot of pressure on me writing false things about me but you canât really blame things on other people. I think an individual has to be strong and more than boyfriend support, they need family support and I donât know why the family was not there for her. I have actually been silent because I respect that family. I respect what the family has been through. But the media has become very irresponsible. They only care about their TRPs. There are times when Iâm in Court and things have been in my favour and a lot of journalists were there. I asked them, âWill you write this?â They told me they wonât because itâs a positive story and it wonât track. Itâs unfair but I also believe in time.â
He admires the Indian actor Salman Khan and considers him his role model. During an interview, while talking about Salman, Sooraj said,
I donât really know because whenever I ask him why he has helped me, he has no answer. My parents have known him but they are not friends with him. Itâs not like they are always at his Eid parties or at his home or my fatherâs having a drink with him! This has never been the case. He once generally called me, years back, when I was about 19-years-old. He called me on my phone and said Sooraj come to Yash Rajâs office and meet me. I met him. He asked me to assist Kabir Khan. I assisted. Thatâs when I became a bit friendly with him. Thatâs where he got to know me. I donât know why he helped me.â
