The Vasai court in Maharashtra on Saturday, 31 December, sent Sheezan Khan, the accused in television actor Tunisha Sharma's death case, to a 14-day judicial custody, as per a report by ANI. Tunisha allegedly died by suicide on the set of Ali Baba Dastaan-E-Kabul in Vasai, Maharashtra's Palghar district, on 24 December. She was 21.
Sheezan and Tunisha worked together in Ali Baba Dastaan-E-Kabul and were allegedly dating.
Within hours of her demise, the actor's mother, Vanita Sharma, filed a complaint against Sheezan. He was arrested after a case of abetment to suicide was registered against him and was sent to four-day police custody on 25 December.
In continuation of the ANI report, the Waliv police on Saturday produced the 28-year-old actor in court after his custody ended. Besides, the police have so far recorded the statements of 27 people in the case.
In a press conference held in Mumbai on Friday, Tunisha's mother made several accusations against Sheezan, raising suspicion of 'murder' as well.
