The Mumbai police, after going through actress Pratyusha Banerjee’s bank details, has discovered that she had two bank accounts. While one had only Rs 17, the other was empty. Both were joint accounts shared by the actor and her parents. The police is now certain that Pratyusha was depressed due to financial problems, sources say.
Meanwhile, the actress’ parents have written a letter to Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, minister of state for home Ranjit Patil, police commissioner Datta Padsalgikar and joint commissioner Deven Bharti, demanding that the investigation in her suicide case be transferred to the Mumbai crime branch.
The Bangur Nagar police of North Mumbai is investigating the case, but Pratyusha’s parents allege that it was letting the actor’s boyfriend, Rahul Raj Singh, destroy evidence. They also claimed that Mr Singh had been threatening witnesses and them. They also referred to her death as a murder. “The death of my daughter is being portrayed as a suicide due to depression, which is a false notion,” the letter read. Pratyusha’s parents, in the letter, also claimed that since the day they recorded their statements in the police station, they had been telling officials that Pratyusha’s death was more than a suicide but all their complaints were falling on deaf ears.
