Mumbai: A local Mumbai court rejected Rahul Raj Singh's bail plea after he was booked by the police for 'abetting' girl friend and television actress Pratyusha Banerjee's suicide. Rahul, currently in hospital for the third day, was booked for abetment after the police registered an FIR based on a complaint filed by the actress' mother Soma Banerjee at the Bangurnagar Police Station.
A case under IPC sections 306 (abetment of suicide), 504, 506 (criminal intimidation), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) of IPC has been registered against Rahul.

Rahul's lawyer Neeraj Gupta withdrew from the case on Wednesday saying his client had hid facts from him. Rahul's new lawyer is Ashok Sarogi. Neeraj had said, "I withdrew from the case on humanitarian grounds. I felt I shouldn't be fighting the case, and hence left it so that injustice is not done to anyone."

He further added, "A client should pass on all information, right or wrong, good or bad, to the lawyer, but I was kept in the dark and got all details (pertaining to the case) from outside (media)."
On April 1, the 24-year-old actress, who shot to fame for her role of Anandi in hit TV series ‘Balika Vadhu’, allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself inside her flat in Goregoan, Mumbai.
