New Delhi: It’s been over a month that actress Pratyusha Banerjee committed suicide in her Goregaon flat. Since then her death has been in the headlines with some or the other twist coming in the way of investigation.
So far, Pratyusha’s live-in boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh has been the prime suspect.
On the other hand, Rahul has come forward in his defence and has filed legal suit against Kamya Punjabi, a close friend of Pratyusha who has been quite vocal against Singh since the beginning.
Rahul has alleged that it was Kamya who borrowed Rs. 2.5 lakhs from the late actress.
While everyone was surprised at this revelation, Kamya Punjabi lashed out Rahul for having inappropriate facts and creating confusion in the case.
She also clarified the mystery of Rs. 2.5 lakhs that Pratyusha gave her.
“BCL ka playoff season aaya tha TV par. I am the owner of Jaipur Raj Joshilay team in the cricket tournament. Pratyusha, being my friend, was the brand ambassador of the team. She wanted that her dad’s NGO be promoted through our team since there was media involved. She had given me Rs2.5 lakh as the sponsorship amount. We had made standees and we did many media interviews during that time. Borrowing Rs2.5 lakh is different and sponsoring a team are two different things. I have proof to show that it was sponsorship money. Aaj tak aisi naubat nahin aayi hai ki udhaar maangna pade. This happened around three years ago when Rahul wasn’t even in Pratyusha’s life. Tell him to get his facts right. Jaipur Raj Joshilay is my team and I have bank accounts of the team. Jo humne standees banwaye thay woh bhi humne NGO ko waapis kar diye thay,” Kamya told a leading daily.
Looks like Rahul’s trick to defend himself just backfired. Let’s see what more is to be unveiled in the mysterious suicide case of Pratyusha Banerjee.
