A lawyer representing jailed television actor Sheezan Khan on Monday opposed in a local court application of the abetment of suicide charge against his client in the death case of his co-star Tunisha Sharma late last year and sought that he be released on bail.

Lawyer Sharad Rai, appearing for the 28-year-old TV actor, made the submission before Additional Sessions Judge SM Deshpande at Vasai in Maharashtra's Palghar district during a hearing on his bail plea.
