Tunisha Sharma’s mother accuses Sheezan Khan of cheating on the actor

Late actress Tunisha Sharma's mother Vanita has revealed new details about the actor’s relationship with her co-star Sheezan Khan. Tunisha allegedly committed suicide on the sets of her serial Alibaba – Dastaan-e-Kabul on Saturday. A case of abetment to suicide was registered against the actor under Section 306 of the IPC.

In a statement on Monday, Tunisha’s mother Vanita, who had filed a complaint against Sheezan, said, “I want to tell you that Sheezan cheated Tanisha. First, he had a relationship with her saying that he will marry her and later broke up with her. He already was involved with another woman in spite of which he got involved with Tunisha and used her for three to four months. He should be punished for that. I have lost my daughter.”

Police allege the reason behind Tunisha Sharma’s alleged extreme step that ended her life could be her breakup with Sheezan Khan, which took place a fortnight ago. Tunisha was reportedly under stress, and it is suspected that it drove her to take the step, said the Mumbai police. The Vasai court has sent Sheezan to police custody for four days in connection with her death. Sheezan Khan’s lawyer had earlier stated that the allegations against him are baseless. “Whatever has happened, police and court are working. He (Sheezan Khan) has been produced in court. Allegations against him are baseless,” lawyer Sharad Rai addressed the media after Sheezan was arrested by the police. His advocate also added that no evidence has been found against him as yet. 

The 20-year-old actor was found hanging in the washroom after a tea break while shooting on December 24; Waliv police said they had to break open the door after she did not come out for a long time. Tunisha and Sheezan reportedly had lunch together the day she died. Sheezan Mohammed Khan was on Sunday sent to four-day police custody by the Vasai court in Mumbai.
