He said, "When Sheezan was arrested on 24th December, they started with different theories of fake chacha, fake mama, fake mother and then they got in Ali. This was rejected by the court today. They wanted to tarnish the family's image and not let them get any support from the media or police. The court observed that they had no evidence for their arguments."
He was also asked about the matter going to the High Court now. To this, he replied, "I am prepared to take the case even till the Supreme court."
Tunisha's mama had said, "To get Tunisha justice, we'd go to not just the High Court but also the Supreme Court. Ali's statements have been taken by investigative agencies. It's clear that he was just a friend. She had met him on December 2 to 3 times. I would not like to get into the details. The investigative agencies have all the details about who talked to in the last 15 minutes to her and before that. Sheezan was with Tunisha for the last 35 minutes and it has been made clear by the investigation agencies to the court. So there's no use in mentioning Ali's name."
He also added, "From the first day, Sheezan has been changing his statements. Sometimes he forgets passwords, then he cites different reasons for the break-up, he also refers to the Shraddha Aftab case. His bail has been rejected on the grounds of him manipulating witnesses and destroying evidence."
However, it is learnt that the family has moved to the High Court to seek justice.
