Sheezan Khan, who was arrested on December 24, 2022, for abetment to suicide in the Tunisha Sharma case, was granted bail by Vasai Sessions Court yesterday. Tunisha reportedly died by suicide on December 24 on the set of the TV show, Ali Baba Dastaan-e-Kabul. Sheezan, who played the lead opposite Tunisha, was arrested following a complaint by her mother, Vanita Sharma.

His lawyer, Shailendra Mishra, told us, “Sheezan has been granted bail on a surety of Rs. 1,00,000. All I can say is that there is no evidence against him. This is just the beginning, and we will fight it out till the end.”

The case regarding the quashing of the FIR against Sheezan is scheduled to come up for hearing in High Court on March 9. Sheezan’s sister Falaq Naaz says, “Sach ki jeet hui hai, and we are certain that we will be granted relief by the High Court as well. We are waiting for Sheezan to return home after 70 days.”

On behalf of Vanita Sharma, Tunisha’s uncle Pawan Sharma said, “It’s a legal process. However, this won’t deter us and we will fight till Tunisha gets justice. Jab tak insaaf nahi milega, hum aise hi fight karenge. Our case is strong.”
