The Palghar court today granted bail to television actor Sheezan Khan, who was arrested for allegedly abetting the suicide of co-actor Tunisha Sharma last year.
The Additional sessions court judge R D Deshpande ordered that Mr Khan be released on a surety of Rs 1,00,000.
Further, the court ordered the actor to surrender his passport and asked him not to leave the country without prior permission of the court.
Advocate Sharad Rai, who represented Mr Khan, said the applicant had sought bail on various grounds, including that the chargesheet in the case had already been filed and the probe was over. He also argued that this case does not attract punishment under Indian Penal Code (IPC) section 306 (abetment to suicide).
Special public prosecutor Sanjay More countered the submission made by Khan that he was not present in the room when Tunisha Sharma ended her life.
Tunisha was allegedly died by suicide by hanging herself on December 24, 2022, on the sets of a TV serial near Valiv in Palghar. Khan (28) was arrested the next day on a complaint lodged by Sharma’s mother. He is currently lodged in a jail.
Sheezan and Tunisha, who were in a relationship but later parted ways, were co-stars in TV serial ‘Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul’ The Valiv police filed a 500-page chargesheet in the court on February 16.
