If there is any ‘love jihad’ angle behind actor Tunisha Sharma's death, police will probe it and identify the organisation responsible, BJP MLA Ram Kadam said on Sunday as Sheezan Khan was sent to 4-day police custody.

BJP MLA Ram Kadam on Sunday said if there is any love-jihad angle in television actor Tunisha Sharma's suicide case, then the police will probe that and take action against the organisation behind it. Tunisha Sharma's family will get justice, the BJP MLA said adding the communal angle after actor Sheezan Khan was arrested and sent to police custody for four days based on the complaint of Tunisha Sharma's mother.

Actor Sheezan Khan has been sent to 4-day police custody in Tunisha Sharma death case.

“The case will be thoroughly probed and all aspected will be considered whether it is a case of live jihad or anything. The accused will not be spared. Tunisha's family will get justice 100%,” the MLA said.

Tunisha was believed to be in a relationship with Sheezan Khan and the couple broke up 15 days ago following which Tunisha reportedly went into depression. The 21-year-old actor died by suicide on the shooting sets on Saturday. A case under Section 306 of the IPC has been registered against Sheezan Khan. There was no suicide note found and the cops said they are investigating both the murder and the suicide angles.

'Love jihad' is a term used to describe the relationship between a Muslim man and a Hindu woman with a motive for conversion. However, this is not an official term and is mostly used by right-wing activists.
