Mumbai: TV actor Sheezan Khan, accused in the death case of his co-star and former girlfriend Tunisha Sharma, on Monday filed a bail petition in the Bombay High Court seeking to quash the FIR filed against him in the case.

The hearing for his plea is on January 30. Earlier, on January 13, the Vasai court had rejected Khan’s bail plea saying, “Sheezan and Tunisha broke their relationship on December 15, after which she died of a panic attack. It has also been revealed that Sheezan was the last person to meet Tunisha before she died.”

The actor has been in judicial custody. Khan’s family claims he has been falsely implicated in the case by the late actor’s mother, and that Tunisha was like a “family” to them. Khan was reportedly dating Tunisha, who was allegedly found hanging at a TV serial set on December 24, a fortnight after the two reportedly broke up.
