Sheezan Khan has been granted bail by the Vasai Court in the Tunisha Sharma death case. He was arrested for allegedly abetting the sucide of his co-star and girlfriend Tunisha, who died on December 24 on the set of  Ali Baba: Dastaan-e-Kabul. Sheezan's bail plea has been accepted by the court more than two months after his arrest.

He will need to submit his passport and has to furnish a surety bond worth Rs 1 lakh.

 

After Tunisha's death, her mother Vanita Sharma filed a complaint with the police accusing Sheezan of abetting her suicide. She claimed that Tunisha was depressed after her breakup with Sheezan and took the extreme step of taking her own life. Moreover, Vanita also levelled accusations against Sheezan's family and claimed that they were trying to distance Tunisha from her. 

After his arrest, Sheezan was lodged in Thane Central jail. The makers of Ali Baba: Dastaan-e-Kabul have also replaced Sheezan's character in the show. Abhishek Nigam is playing the lead role in Alibaba - Ek Andaaz Andekha: Chapter 2 alongside Sayantani Ghosh.
