Tunisha was found dead on the sets of her ongoing TV show Alibaba - Dastaan-e-Kabul on December 24. A day later, her ex-boyfriend and co-star from the show, Sheezan Khan was arrested on charges of abetment to suicide. If reports are to be believed, Khan and Tunisha broke up 15 days before she died by suicide.
Tunisha was also reportedly hospitalized after she suffered anxiety attacks a few months ago. The actress suffered from depression and anxiety around 2018 as well. The police is probing the matter on the lines of why Sheezan deleted his chats with one girl only and will also investigate if they were connected after Tunisha's death.
Sheezan's "secret girlfriend" has been identified and will be interrogated by the police soon, a police official said. Earlier in the day, Waliv Police retrieved the WhatsApp chats and recordings of Sheezan Khan and said that they did not find anything objectionable there.
"Tunisha was upset with her breakup and was already suffering from anxiety because of which she felt lonely after the two parted ways," the police said adding that they have also obtained audio recordings from the phone. It also mentioned that they would question the deceased actor's family regarding Tunisha's anxiety and record her mother's statement once again.
