The investigation into the Tunisha Sharma suicide case is still going on. The actress was reportedly found dead on the set of her TV show “Ali Baba: Daastan-e-Kabul” on December 24. Her ex-boyfriend and co-star Sheezan Khan were arrested a day after Tunisha’s mother Vanita Sharma filed a complaint of ‘abettment to suicide.’ Since then, the actor is in judicial custody, and his next bail plea will be heard today, i.e., on January 13.
On January 2, Sheeezan’s sisters, Falaq Naaz and Shafaq Naaz, held a press conference along with lawyer Shailendra Mishra. They addressed all the allegations levelled against Sheezan and their family. During the conversation they made some shocking claims against the deceased’s mother, Vanita.
