Tunisha Sharma suicide: Vasai court extends Sheezan Khan’s police custody by one day

PALGHAR: A magistrate’s court at Vasai in Maharashtra’s Palghar district on Friday extended the police custody of actor Sheezan Khan, arrested in connection with the alleged suicide of his co-actor Tunisha Sharma, by one day.

Sheezan Khan (27) was arrested by the Valiv police in the district on Sunday for allegedly abetting Sharma’s suicide as per the allegations of her mother Vanita Sharma in her FIR.

Pressing for further remand, the Waliv police told the court they need to record the statements of more people connected with the case and that they are scanning CCTV camera footage of the studio and nearby places. They are checking the entire month’s CCTV camera footage of the studio and studying what went wrong during the month.

Sharma, 21, who acted in the show ‘Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul’, was found hanging in the washroom on the set of the serial on Saturday near Vasai.

Sharma’s mother has alleged that Khan cheated and ”used” her daughter. She also alleged that he beat her, slapped her and forced her to convert to Islam.

Sharma had also featured in the TV show ‘Bharat Ka Veer Putra Maharana Pratap’ and films like ‘Fitoor’ and ‘Baar Baar Dekho’. (PTI)
