Mumbai: Days after Tunisha Sharma’s mother alleged that former boyfriend Sheezan Khan was forcing her to convert into Islam, Khan’s family on Monday made explosive allegations against the late actress’ mother and her uncles.
The advocate, representing actor Sheezan Khan in Tunisha Sharma’s suicide case, has alleged that the relationship between the deceased and her mother Vanita Sharma was “terrible.”
In fact, Vanitha Sharma had once tried to strangle her daughter to death and the mother along with her uncle Sanjeev Kaushal used to control the deceased.
“Tunisha used to panic a lot upon hearing name of Sanjeev Kaushal. On instigation of Sanjeev Kaushal, Tunisha’s mother broke her phone and tried to strangulate her. They used to control Tunisha’s life,” a news agency quoted Sheezan Khan’s advocate in a tweet.
Advocate Shailendra Mishra claimed that Tunisha often pleaded for her own money with her mother. “Tunisha’s so-called uncle Pawan Sharma was her former manager, he was fired 4 years ago because he used to interfere a lot and behave harshly with her,” Khan’s advocate added.
The lawyer further stated that the mother used to neglect her daughter since childhood which led the actress to depression and was a cause of “childhood trauma”.
The budding actress was found dead on the sets of her ongoing TV show ‘Alibaba – Dastaan-e-Kabul’ on Saturday. Based on a complaint filed by Sharma’s mother, the Waliv police registered a case against Sheezan M Khan, under Indian Penal Code Section 306 (abetment of suicide) and arrested him, the station house office of Waliv police station told news agency PTI. Her mother in her complaint claimed Sharma and Khan were in love and blamed the latter for her daughter’s extreme step, the police said.
The autopsy report of actress Tunisha Sharma has specified ‘hanging’ as the cause of death, the Mumbai police said on Sunday.
However, the Vanita Sharma has held Sheezan Khan responsible for the death and accused him of forcing her daught to convert to Islam when they were in a relationship.
