After his release from jail last month, he had filed an application in Maharashtra’s Vasai court seeking a direction to the police to return his passport which was earlier seized during the investigation of the ongoing case.
According to a report in Times of India, Sheezan’s lawyer said, “We are grateful to the honorable court that has permitted Sheezan to travel abroad for Khatron Ke Khiladi.” Sheezan also said that he had full faith that “justice would not be denied”.
In her response, the portal quoted Tunisha’s mom as saying, “Log TV par apne favorite actors ko dekhkar unko apna idol bana lete hain aur unke jaise banne ki koshish karte hain (People watch their favorite actors on screen and make them their idol and try to become like them). I request TV channels and makers not to glorify anyone who has not been proven innocent.”
Sheezan was arrested in December last year and was under judicial custody before being released on bail from Thane Central Jail earlier on March 5. The Vasai Court had ordered his bail with 1 Lakh surety bond and had asked the actor to submit his passport as well.
Waliv Police had filed a 524-page chargesheet in the Vasai court accusing Sheezan in 21-year-old Tunisha’s suicide case. But Sheezan’s family had claimed that he had been falsely implicated in the case by the late actor’s mother and that Tunisha was like a “family” to them.
Sheezan was reportedly dating his Ali Baba Dastaan-E-Kabul co-star Tunisha, when she was found unconscious on the sets of the show, weeks after the duo broke up ending their months-long relationship. Within hours of Tunisha’s death, Sheezan was arrested on the charges of abetment to suicide.
