Tunisha Sharma death: BJP MLA wants to probe 'love jihad' angle

After the police arrested a 27-year-old co-actor of television and film actress Tunisha Sharma on the charge of abetting her suicide in Maharashtra, BJP MLA Ram Kadam sought to know if there was a love jihad angle to her suicide.

The 21-year-old actress allegedly committed suicide on the set of a serial in Vasai area in Maharashtra's Palghar district

Based on a complaint filed by Sharma's mother, the police registered a case against the deceased's co-actor, Sheezan M Khan, with whom she was allegedly in a relationship. 

They had reportedly broken up two weeks ago following which she fell into depression.

MLA Kadam said a thorough probe will be conducted into the death and all the angles will be looked into. He sought to know what was the reason for the suicide and if there was a "love jihad" angle to it.

Investigations will reveal the truth, he said, adding that the family of Sharma will get justice. 

Sharma had acted in the TV show 'Bharat Ka Veer Putra Maharana Pratap' and films like 'Fitoor' and 'Baar Baar Dekho'.

The incident on Saturday took place on a set where the shooting of the serial 'Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul' was in progress.

Sharma had gone to the washroom on the set and did not return for a long time. When the door was broken down, she was found hanging inside, another police official said.
