Tunisha Case: Court rejects bail plea of actor Sheezan Khan
Palghar, Jan 13: A court in Maharashtra’s Palghar district on Friday rejected the bail application of actor Sheezan Khan, arrested for allegedly abetting the suicide of his co-actor Tunisha Sharma.
Additional Sessions Judge R D Deshpande refused to grant relief to the 28-year-old, who was arrested on December 25 and is now in jail under judicial custody.
Advocates Shailendra Mishra and Sharad Rai, who appeared for Khan before the Vasai court, later said they will move the Bombay High Court against the ruling.
Advocate Tarun Sharma, who represented Tunisha’s family, opposed bail to the actor, and told the court that Khan’s mother was also involved in the matter.
He had submitted an application to the Mira-Bhayandar, Vasai-Virar police commissioner to make Khan’s mother a co-accused in the case, advocate Sharma further said.
After hearing both sides, the court rejected Khan’s bail plea. A detailed order is expected later.
Sharma (21), who was acting in the television show ‘Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul’ along with Khan, was found hanging in the washroom on the set of the Hindi serial near Vasai, located on the outskirts of Mumbai, on December 24.
She was in a relationship with Khan but they broke up later.
Talking to the media outside the Vasai sessions court, advocates Mishra and Rai said they will move the HC against the order rejecting bail plea of their client Khan. (PTI)
