Rahul, who was booked by the Bangur Nagar Police for abetting Pratyusha's suicide, got some relief from Bombay High Court yesterday.
The High Court, which heard Rahul's pre-arrest bail plea, retrained the police from arresting him on a surety of Rs. 30,000 and directed him to attend the police station everyday till April 18.
After the 24-year-old 'Balika Vadhu' actress allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself in her flat in suburban Goregaon on April 1, a case under Sections 306 (abetment of suicide), 504, 506 (criminal intimidation), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) of the IPC was registered against Rahul on April 3 following a complaint lodged by the actress' parents.
According to reports, Pratyusha took this drastic step due to mounting financial pressures over the last year. According to Rahul’s father, Hashvardhan Singh, Pratyusha was under severe mental pressure because she did not have enough money left to sustain her expenses, and that her parents had used her name to take a loan of Rs 50 lakh, due to which she was being hassled by creditors.
On the other hand, Pratyusha’s friends claim that Rahul was cheating on her with his ex-girlfriend. According to reports, Rahul’s ex-girlfriend had assaulted Pratyusha on several occasions in Rahul’s absence. But when Pratyusha complained to him, he took no action. He has even physically assaulted her in public.
Pratyusha was best known for her debut role in Balika Vadhu. Thereafter, she shifted to reality shows and participated in Bigg Boss 7. Pratyusha’s last outing on TV was in Sasural Simar Ka where she played a role that had negative shades.
