Tunisha Sharma suicide case: Cine workers' association demand SIT probe

TV actor Tunisha Sharma’s death on Saturday sent shockwaves across the nation and now All-Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) has demanded that the Maharashtra government set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the case.

As per news agency ANI, AICWA president Suresh Shyamlal Gupta said, ‘We demand the government form an SIT in Tunisha Sharma's suicide case and the investigation be done properly. Today, I went to the set where Tunisha Sharma committed suicide. I found people were scared.’

‘Something wrong must have happened. Women are not safe on the set (of the television show that Tunisha was shooting for). The set is at a very interior location where people are afraid to commute. The government should pay attention to this matter and have the death probed by an SIT. Many things will come out after the probe,’ the AICWA president added.

Tunisha died by suicide on the sets of her ongoing show Alibaba - Dastaan-e-Kabul and her co-star, boyfriend Sheezan Khan was arrested on charges of abetment to suicide.

Tunisha and Shezaan were reportedly in a relationship and had broken up over a fortnight ago.

Tunisha's maternal uncle Pawan Sharma informed ANI that the last rites will be performed on December 27 in Mumbai's Mira Road area.

Tunisha Sharma has appeared in Bollywood films including ‘Fitoor’, ‘Baar Baar Dekho’, ‘Kahaani 2: Durga Rani Singh’, and ‘Dabangg 3’.
