Rahul Raj Singh recalls the moment of Pratyusha Banerjee’s death

In an interview with Free Press Journal, Rahul Raj Singh confessed that Pratyusha Banerjee was alive when he found her hanging at her house in Mumbai on April 1, 2016. He said, “I was the first one to reach it, and with the help of a locksmith, we tried to open the door. Our flat had a balcony that was interconnected. We were trying to open the gate because even when I rang the bell, she wasn’t opening. I tried to break the lock. I had a bad feeling. I thought maybe she was drunk or had gone to sleep. So the locksmith went from behind, and he got scared. His hands were trembling. The lock wasn’t opening from inside because he got nervous seeing her hanging. When he opened the door and I looked up, she was hanging in a black satin dress. It was very bad. I gathered my courage and took her to the hospital. She was alive while I was taking her there. I even tried to give her CPR, but she didn’t make it.” Rahul Raj Singh also mentioned that Pratyusha Banerjee was in a messed-up situation when he met her. She was not doing well mentally, he claimed. They dated each other for 10 months. He even stated that Pratyusha’s father was a very bad human being. He said, “He used to abuse her, and she used to get very affected by that. It used to break her.”Also Read : Pratyusha Banerjee's Ex Rahul Raj Singh Speaks Out Against Kamya Panjabi: Had No Business To Relate Short Film With Death While speaking about his final phone call with Pratyusha Banerjee just a few hours before her demise, Rahul Raj Singh said, “2–3 days before her death, there was a conversation between her father and her where some abuses happened. In our last conversation, I was asking her, Why are you feeling so bad? She said she doesn’t like to hear abuses. So I asked, Who is abusing you? She said it’s her father who is abusing her. When a father abuses his daughter, it affects a lot. I also have a daughter, so I imagine if I am abusing her, how bad would she feel? Pratyusha used to tell me, ‘I am earning, and my father is spending all that drinking alcohol.’ How bad is that? It affects people’s minds.” When asked about her parents accusing him of the death of Pratyusha Banerjee, Rahul said, “When all this happened, they put the entire blame on me, and the investigation went completely off track. They didn’t even let me go to the cremation ground. These people kept saying, ‘He is the murderer; he killed her; he hung her.’ What motive would I have to hang her? Did I come to Bombay to kill my own girlfriend? People kept saying these things, and even today, I am called a ‘murderer.’” Talking about Pratyusha Banerjee, the actress played the role of Anandi in Balika Vadhu after a leap. She had also participated in Bigg Boss 7 as a contestant. Stay tuned for more updates!
