Mumbai, Mar 4: Sheezan Khan, who was arrested for allegedly abetting the suicide of his co-star Tunisha Sharma, was granted bail on Saturday. A Maharashtra court granted bail to the actor in the Tunisha Sharma death case on a bail bond of Rs 1 lakh and has been asked to submit his passport.

 

Sheezan was arrested last year in December and has been in judicial custody ever since. He was reportedly in a relationship with Tunisha, and they had broken up weeks before her suicide.

 

 

Sheezan Khan was arrested a day after Tunisha's death. This came after her mother Vanita Sharma filed a case of abetment of suicide against him. Tunisha and Sheezan reportedly dated for some time last year, and his family claims that they had a mutual breakup just days before Tunisha was found dead. The Vasai court on December 31 had sent accused Sheezan to a 14-day judicial custody after his police custody ended; his judicial custody was then extended.

 

Tunisha's mother Vanita had levelled allegations against Sheezan claiming that he used to beat up Tunisha and was forcing her to adopt Islam. However, addressing a press conference, Sheezan's sister Falaq Naaz, had accused Tunisha's mother of "neglecting" her and said that the late actor's depression was due to her childhood trauma. Sheezan's sisters Shafaq Naaz and Falaq, and his mother Kehekshan Faisi, alongwith his lawyer Shailendra Mishra, held the press conference earlier this year.
