Tunisha's family had accused them of practising love jihad and black magic. Tunisha's mother, Vanita Sharma, has made disturbing allegations about the nature of their connection. She said that Tunisha had once snooped on Sheezan's phone. The two got into a fight when Tunisha overheard her talking to another female. According to Vanita, this was the last straw that led to the end of their relationship.

Sheezan's family made the bold accusation that the actor is being "tortured in prison" during a news conference on Monday morning in Mumbai. Even while they did not specify how Sheezan is being tortured, the family made it clear that they want justice for Tunisha as well.
