Sheezan Khan was arrested in December last year and had been under judicial custody ever since.
In February, Waliv Police filed a 524-page chargesheet in the Vasai court accusing Sheezan in the 21-year-old actress’ suicide case.
Moreover, Sheezan’s family had claimed that he had been falsely implicated in the case by the late actor’s mother and further claimed that Tunisha was like a family to them.
Sheezan was reportedly dating his ‘Ali Baba Dastaan-E-Kabul’ co-star Tunisha, who was found hanging at the set on December 24, a fortnight after the duo broke up ending their months-long relationship.

Within hours of the actress’ death, Sheezan was arrested by the police after a case of the abetment to suicide was registered against him. As Sheezan was released from jail, his sister became emotional after seeing him and hugged him.
Tunisha’s mother, Vanita Sharma made heinous allegations against Sheezan after Tunisha’s death, saying that he used to beat Tunisha and forced her to follow Islam.
Meanwhile, Sheezan’s sister Falaq Naaz accused Tunisha’s mother of neglecting her and the actress’ depression was due to her childhood trauma.
In January 2023, the Vasai court denied bail to Sheezan stating that his release could affect the case proceedings.
