Tunisha Sharma's Suicide Case: Sheezan Khan's Police Custody Extended Till December 31

In a big development in Tunisha Sharma’s suicide case, her former boyfriend and Ali Baba co-star Sheezan Khan’s police custody has been extended till tomorrow i.e December 31. Vasai court announced the same on Friday. This is for the second time that Sheezan Khan’s police custody has been extended.

Sheezan Khan was arrested on December 25 after Tunisha’s mother accused him of abetment to suicide. In her complaint, Tunisha’s mother had claimed that Sheezan ‘used’ her daughter. Sheezan and Tunisha dated each other and reportedly broke up just 15 days before the actress’ death.

However, later, Sheezan’s lawyer Shailendra Mishra talked about the ongoing investigation and claimed that his client is being ‘framed’. “Sheezan is innocent. He is simply framed because there could be pressure in future. So, unnecessarily he has been detained. They can investigate from any angle. We are ready,” actor’s lawyer told E-times.

Earlier this week, Sheezan’s family also issued a statement and urged everyone to respect their privacy. In the statement, his sisters – Shafaq Naaz and Falaq Naaz – and their family mentioned that Sheezan is cooperating with the police officials and added that they have full faith in the judiciary system.

“It’s upsetting to see the members of the media constantly calling us and even standing below our apartment buildings. We have full faith in the Indian judiciary system, and Sheezan is cooperating with the Mumbai police through all the procedures. We will talk about this when the time is right, but for now, please allow us the privacy which our family deserves right now,” a part of their statement read.

Tunisha Sharma was found hanging in the make-up room of her show Ali Baba on December 24. According to police officials, the 20-year-old actress went to the washroom on the set and did not return for a long time. When the door was broken down, she was found hanging inside. No suicide note was recovered from the location. Later, the post-mortem report clarified that the actress died due to suffocation.
