Tunisha Sharma was found dead on the sets and according to Waliv Police, the actor went to the toilet and did not come back. The police broke the door open and found that she had hanged herself, while no suicide note was recovered at the spot. Tunisha’s mother accused Sheezan Khan, the prime suspect in the case, of cheating on her daughter and breaking his promise to marry her.
A court in Vasai sent actor Sheezan Khan to police custody for four days when Waliv police produced Khan in the court after his arrest for abetment to suicide. The police has registered a case against him under Section 306 of the IPC. The police are now investigating the reason behind her alleged suicide. Both Tunisha and Sheezan’s mobile phones are sent to the forensic lab.
