Going

in
a
relationship
and
had

their

15
days
ago.
Tunisha

and
it
is
suspected
that’s
what
drove
her
to
the
edge,
said
the
Mumbai
police,
according
to
a

report.

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.

Tunisha
Sharma
started
her
career
with
‘Bharat
Ka
Veer
Putra
–
Maharana
Pratap’.
She
was
also
part
of
shows
such
as
‘Ishq

‘Gabbar
Poonchwala’,
‘Sher-e-Punjab:
Maharaja
Ranjit
Singh’,
and
‘Chakravartin
Ashoka
Samrat’.
Apart
from
small
screen,
the
actress
appeared
in
Bollywood
movies
including
‘Fitoor’,
‘Baar
Baar
Dekho’,
‘Kahaani
2:
Durga
Rani
Singh’,
and
‘Dabangg
3’.

On
the
other
hand,
Parth
Zutshi,
another
of
Tunisha’s
co-stars,
appeared
before
the
cops
in
connection
with
the
case.
“I
was
called
for
questioning
by
police
and
was
asked
general
questions.
I
can’t
comment
on
her
relations,
I
don’t
have
any
idea,
it
was
her
internal
matter,”
he
told
the
media.
Parth
also
stated
that
though
Tunisha
had
been
stressed,
she
did
not
take
any
kind
of
drugs.

Meanwhile,
the
postmortem
was
conducted
at
Mumbai’s
JJ
Hospital
early
on
Sunday.

were
also
present,”

told

the
dead
body
is
kept
in
cold

report
is
awaited.

not
return
for
a
long
time.
