On Saturday, Sheezan Khan was sent to 14-day judicial custody by the Vasai court in connection with Tunisha Sharma's suicide case. He was arrested a day after the actress committed suicide in his make-up room on the sets of their show Dastaan-E-Kabul.’ Sheezan is currently being interrogated by Mumbai Police and is facing a media trial. Now, Sheezan Khan’s lawyer Shailendra Mishra has said that his client is innocent. He has also requested for providing counseling for the actor with security so as to desist him from taking any drastic step.
Speaking to the media, he even mentioned that the actor is at risk of suicide as his mental health is affected. The lawyer also accused Tunisha’s mother of 'intentionally and deliberately' misguiding the investigation. Shailendra told reporters, “Unki khud ki mental status abhi kya hai, yeh aap bhi nahi samajh paoge mai bhi nahi samajh paunga. 3 din pehle Taloja jail mein ek jan ne suicide kar liye, iss wajah se humne counseling ka appeal mangha hai and counseling with security – taki uspe nazar rakha jaye, usse akela na chodha jaaye.” ALSO READ: Tunisha Sharma Suicide Row: Actor Had A ‘HEATED ARGUMENT’ With Ex-beau Sheezan Khan Before Her Death; Police Recover CCTV Footage-REPORTS!
Further, explaining his client’s mental state, he added, “Jisne pure zindagi me na police dhekha, na court dekha achanak aaj pure media ke samne woh trial face kar raha hai. Aap logone kya question mark daalke sabit kar diya hai uski jaankari mujhse behtar aap logo ko hai (For a person who has never had to deal with cops or visit courts, to now be facing a media trial… Even the verdicts being passed by the media while using question marks isn’t lost. So you guys know better.)”
Khan’s lawyer also revealed that they have given all the evidence to the police and on Monday he will have a press conference where they will prove that all allegations against Sheezan are fake and that somebody else is responsible for this.
