Tunisha Sharma Suicide: Who is Sheezan Khan accused in this case?

Dastaan-E-Kabul co-actor Sheezan Mohammed Khan was arrested a day after Tunisha Sharma died by suicide. In particular, a case was registered against Khan on the denunciation of Tunisha's mother.

Based on a complaint lodged by Tunisha's mother, Valiv police registered a case against Sheezan M Khan, under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code (incitement to suicide) and arrested him, the police said. The two had worked together on the Alibaba – Dastaan-e-Kabul program.

In her complaint, Tunisha's mother claimed her daughter and Sheezan were involved and blamed him for her daughter's extreme step, police said. Since no suicide note was found at the scene, the official said the body was sent for autopsy and the case was still being investigated.
