MUMBAI: Pratyusha Banerjee was a much-loved actress and her demise left everyone in a state of shock.
Five years after her tragic suicide, the actress’ boyfriend model-actor-shows organizer Rahul Raj Singh is still waiting for a closure to the case accusing him of abetment to suicide. Rahul told Spotboye, “The Covid pandemic has prolonged the case much longer than it should have. I am waiting for the day when the court will clear my name. I know I am not guilty. I didn’t kill Pratyusha, her parents’ greed killed her. She was unable to satiate their endless demands. I tried to save her, not kill her. I can never forget that day. It is embedded in my mind heart and soul. And the way Pratyusha’s so-called friends Vikas Gupta and Kamya Punjabi tried to pin Pratyusha’s death on me…they have their conscience and God to answer to. They know as well as I do that I am not guilty. They also know why they did all the tamasha.”
When the portal asked Rahul Raj Singh why, he said, “For the publicity. They maligned me without a shred of evidence. That last phone call that Pratyusha made to me does not have any evidence to prove me guilty. Pratyusha does not accuse me even once in that conversation of anything. All her grief and anger were directed at her parents. They are the ones who should be held responsible. In fact when the honourable judge granted me bail it was on the basis of that last phone conversation between Pratyusha and me.”
The portal further mentioned that Rahul Raj Singh intends to sue Vikas Gupta and Kamya Punjabi for criminal defamation as soon as his name is cleared in Pratyusha’s case. “They have damaged my life and career beyond repair. No retaliatory action can give me back my five lost years. Since I was held responsible for Pratyusha’s death all my work dried up. All that I had achieved before Pratyusha’s death is forgotten. My life has come to a standstill. I will sue these two for criminal defamation claiming Re1 as compensation.”
