Sheezan Khan's sister Falaq Naaz breaks her silence Tunisha's suicide. She said, "Tunisha has not gone anywhere, she is the same. Both are my children, we are not able to bear the sorrow of one right now, the other is inside custody. Both are close to my heart, I am not in this mental state to tell anyone. Talking about Tunisha's mother's allegations she said, 'they are angry and upset right now, she has lost her child too, and right now she is not in such a condition to understand."

Sheezan Khan's sisters have released an official statement requesting media personnel to grant them privacy. "To everyone who's been trying to reach out to us for a statement on the case- please allow our family privacy in this grave situation. It's upsetting to see the members of the media constantly calling us and even standing below our apartment buildings. We have full faith in the Indian judiciary system, and Sheezan is cooperating with the Mumbai police through all the procedures. We will talk about this when the time is right, but for now, please allow us the privacy which our family deserves right now".

Tunisha Sharma's co-star Mohit Abrol spoke about the suicide case, "I live in Dharamshala and had come to celebrate new year with family. Yesterday morning I got news of Tunisha's death. Since then I am in shock. Tunisha was a very lively and happy girl. Her birthday is on 4th January He had made many big plans. Tunisha used to call me Paji because she was also from Punjab and I am too..so we used to have fun on the sets.

Tunisha used to spend most of the time with Sheezan on the set of Ali Baba, seeing both of them it seemed that they are in relation..never saw any quarrel between them.

I was playing the character of Zorawar in Ali baba's show..my last shoot was on 24th November after that I came to Dharamshala as my mother was unwell. Tunisha was a very happy and lively girl her career was going well..she had a lot to do in life..why did she take such a step..her truth should come out..justice should be given to Tunisha and her family

I used to talk very less with Sheezan, I only used to have small talks during the shot. He used to spend most of the time on his mobile and other things.

The allegation of Love Jihad by Tunisha's family. I don't know about it but Police is investigating. But I would say that whatever the angle or how and why the incident happened, the truth must come out. Tunisha was a child

I haven't talked to Tunisha's mother yet. I don't have that courage. I won't be able to attend the funeral tomorrow but after that, I will definitely talk to Tunisha's mother."

Sheezan Khan said in his police statement that he broke up with Tunisha because of their different religions and age gap.

During the investigation, Sheezan claimed the murder of Shraddha Walkar by her live-in partner Aaftab Poonawala, made him end his relationship with the late actor. A senior police official told IndiaTV, "Sheezan claimed that after the Shraddha Walkar and Aftab case, he got scared and decided to break up." But the police said that his statement will be verified first.

Apart from this, Waliv police are retrieving the SMS, WhatsApp chat and call recording to further investigate if Sheezan broke up after the Shraddha-Aftab case or he is misleading the investigation.

Tanusha Sharma's post-mortem has been done and the body was kept at JJ Hospital. Now, Tunisha's uncle is going to the hospital to collect actress' mortal remains. Tunisha's body will be brought to Mira Road's mortuary. She will be cremated tomorrow (December 27) at 4 pm.

On 16th December, a few days before the death of Tunisha Sharma, the actress had a panic attack, in such a situation, she was rushed to Lotus Hospital in Borivali. Tunisha was brought to the hospital from the nearby shooting set.

When we talked to the hospital officials, they told "Tunisha Sharma was brought on December 16, around 12:45 am as she felt uneasy. Although she was not admitted, samples were taken for blood test and the prescription was given after a normal checkup." On her way to the hospital, Tunisha was constantly repeating that he (Sheezan) had cheated me, how could he do this to me?

Tunisha's dead body will be shifted from Mumbai's JJ Hospital to the Mira Road mortuary in a short while. According to her family, the late actress will be cremated on December 27. 

Waliv police will send the ornaments present on Tunisha's body to Kalina Forensic Lab for investigation. Apart from this, blood stains found on the throat of the deceased and her clothes will also be sent to lab.

Tunisha Sharma's mother had called up the alleged accused Sheezan's mother and talked about the duo's relationship. To which, his mother said, "Both themselves had decided to come together, and now only Sheezan can tell what happened." Following this, she also contacted the actor several times and asked why he cheated on her daughter. 

Tunisha's mother also demanded strict action against Sheezan. 

Tunisha Sharma's mother Vinita made serious allegations against the actress' ex-boyfriend and accused Sheezan Khan. She claimed "Sheezan got into a relationship with Tunisha on the pretext of marriage while he was already in contact with other girls. He used Tunisha for 4-5 months and suddenly broke up with her." Vinita has appealed to the government for justice.

In her statement to police, Tunisha Sharma's mother said that 'on December 23, she went to the set to meet the actress, who committed suicide on December 24, a few days after her break up with Sheezan. 

Tunisha, who was in depression after the breakup, told her mother that 'she wanted Sheezan back in her life.' The late actress tried to talk to Sheezan, who wasn't ready to listen.

In Tunisha Sharma's suicide case, accused Sheejan Khan told the police that the actress had tried to commit suicide a few days before December 24, but was saved by him. The actor also revealed that he informed Tunisha's mother about the same. 

TV actor Sheezan Khan has been arrested after late actress Tunisha Sharma's mother filed a complaint and claimed that they both were in a relationship and she took this extreme step because of him. A Mumbai court has sent him to police custody for four days. Reportedly, the two had broken up 15 days ago and then Tunisha went into a depression and was highly disturbed. On December 24, she was found hanging on the sets of the TV show and it was believed that she had committed suicide. It is said that she had wanted to get married to Sheezan and he refused, which led to their breakup.

The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) has demanded that the Maharashtra government set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the death of actor Tunisha Sharma. "We demand the government form an SIT in Tunisha Sharma's suicide case and the investigation be done properly. Today, I went to the set where Tunisha Sharma committed suicide. I found people were scared. Something wrong must have happened," AICWA president Suresh Shyamlal Gupta said.

"Women are not safe on the set (of the television show that Tunisha was shooting for). The set is at a very interior location where people are afraid to commute. The government should pay attention to this matter and have the death probed by an SIT. Many things will come out after the probe," added the AICWA president.

Tunisha Sharma, who was just in her early 20s, committed suicide on the sets of her show 'Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul' on December 24. Actress' last rites will be performed on December 27 in Mira road area.

Pawan Sharma, the maternal uncle of Tunisha Sharma, said the family members are in deep shock after the incident.

Pawan Sharma also accused Sheezan Khan of cheating and double dating. According to him, "Sheezan Khan was not committed even after being in a relationship with Tunisha..he used to talk and keep in touch with many girls at the same time..due to which Tunisha was under depression and stress. Even on 16th December Tunisha came to know about Sheezan's deception due to which she got an anxiety attack."

The Mumbai Police on Sunday said that the post-mortem reports of the deceased Tunisha Sharma have specified 'hanging' as the cause of death. "Tunisha Sharma used to work as an actress in a TV show.
