Bombay High Court granted bail to Rahul Raj Singh
Sreekanth A. Nair
The Pratyusha Banerjee death case has taken a new turn as the public prosecutor argued in the Bombay High Court on Monday that the early investigation suggested that the actress was murdered.
The claim was presented before the court when the court was considering the anticipatory bail plea of Banerjee’s boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh.
The Mumbai Police said that they could charge Singh under the section of murder only if they get him under the custody and interrogating him.
The court, however, noted that the custodial interrogation of the actor was not necessary and granted him bail.
The court also said that the prosecution hasn’t provided sufficient evidence to prove abetment charges against Singh. “How a person would react to a particular situation is unpredictable. Sensitivity differs from person to person; so does the reaction,” the court was quoted as saying by The Indian Express.
The court turned down the prosecution’s argument that the police was suspicious about Singh’s involvement in the murder of the actress. “If the police came across contradictions or had a well-founded suspicion, then nobody has prevented the police from invoking Section 302, which they have not done,” the court asked.
The police have found that Rahul Raj Singh entered the house of Pratyusha Banerjee through the adjacent window and the dupatta that the actress used to hang herself was removed from the fan and was kept aside when the police reached the spot.
Banerjee, famous for her role in the popular serial Balika Vadhu, was found hanging at her house in Mumbai, on April 1. It was revealed that she had a troubled relationship with Singh.

Man’s always get away with murder either by money or sex eg, they are man and they are free just because human justice so cheap. When God delivers his justice only regrets will be there nothing else that includes all who are associated with him. I have not watched any series of actress Pratusha. But her story has touched my heart. After learning her death I can tell what exactly was, Rahul motive. Rahul girlfriend empimidiate Pratusha so that she get angry and hit her and then she goes to imprisonment and then Rahul was free to excess Pratusha liabilities. In drug world empimidiate or provoke person to make them fall from their dignity. Once they loose self respect then alcohol or drugs. They become slave to one of this. I well wish for Pratusha. R.I.P.
