As per the facts available in public domain it cannot be said that Sheezan Khan drove Tunisha Sharma to commit suicide. Advocate Abha Singh from Mumbai explains, “One of the primary ingredients of section 306 IPC is that the victim should be driven to the stage of suicide by the accused. The actions and conduct of the accused should be such that the victim is left with no choice but to commit suicide.” Under section 107 of the IPC, a person is said to abet the commitment of an offence if he instigates any person to do that. Also he should have added the committing of the crime or engaged with one or more people for committing the act.
