The Vasai court in Maharashtra on Saturday sent TV actor Tunisha Sharma’s death case accused, Sheezan Khan, to 14-day judicial custody.
The Waliv police produced the 28-year-old actor in court after his police custody ended on Saturday. Sheezan Khan is the reported former boyfriend and co-star of 21-year-old Tunisha, who was allegedly found hanging at a TV serial set on December 24, a fortnight after the two broke up their few-months-long relationship.

The Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul actor was arrested on charges of abetment to suicide on December 25.
So far, the police have recorded the statements of 27 people in the matter.
In the application submitted by the Waliv police seeking Sheezan’s five-day remand from the court on Friday, the officials alleged that Sheezan Khan was having an affair with another girl apart from Tunisha Sharma and had also deleted many chats from his mobile after being detained in Tunisha Sharma’s death case.
According to the police, Sheezan was not cooperating with the investigation and repeatedly changed his statements when asked about the chats with his “secret girlfriend”.
According to some chats which have been recovered, the accused used to talk to many other girls also, the police said.
