Pratyusha Banerjee suicide: Rahul's lawyer Neeraj Gupta quits case
Mumbai: A day after Pratyusha Banerjee’s boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh was booked for abetting her suicide, different facts regarding the latter started resurfacing. After Vikas Gupta’s claim that Rahul has a 9 year old child with his first marriage, the latter’s lawyer has now walked out of the case.
Reportedly, Rahul’s lawyer Neeraj Gupta has quit the case after he found out that his client was hiding important fact from him.
Rahul has been booked for abetment of her suicide last week and also slapped with the charges of criminal intimidation. The producer, currently in hospital, was booked after police registered an FIR based on a complaint filed by Banerjee's mother Soma at Bangurnagar Police Station.
He has been booked under IPC sections related to abetment of suicide, voluntarily causing hurt and criminal intimidation, among others, a police official said.
"He (Rahul) should not get out. My daughter should get justice and I would like to appeal to the entire nation to help me in seeking justice for my daughter. He tortured my daughter a lot and finished her," Soma told reporters here after the prayer meet held in memory of Pratyusha.
When asked what kind of justice she expects, Soma said, "He should be kept alive in jail and made to suffer for his entire lifetime."
Pratyusha Banerjee, better known as Anandi for her role in popular TV serial Balika Vadhu, was found dead in her suburban home on Friday at around 5 pm. Her body was found hanging from the fan with a dupatta by Pratyusha’s boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh and their cook.
Rahul informed the police and her uncle in Borivali about the death at around 6.30 pm. She was declared dead at Kokilaben Hospital in Andheri (west) late on Friday evening.
