Mumbai: Popular Television series “Balika Vadhu” actress Pratyusha Banerjee committed suicide on Friday and her boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh was booked for the abetment of suicide. The police registered an FIR based on a complaint filed by Pratyusha’s mother Soma. He was booked under IPC sections 306 (abetment of suicide), 504,506 (criminal intimidation) and 323 (voluntarily causing hurt).
Rahul filed the bail plea on Wednesday fearing the arrest but on Thursday, the Mumbai court rejected the anticipatory bail plea of Rahul.
The previous lawyer of Rahul, Neeraj Gupta withdrew from the case and said that he was kept in the dark about the details pertaining to the case. Gupta told PTI, “I withdrew from the case on humanitarian grounds. I felt that I shouldn’t be fighting the case, and hence left it be so that injustice is not done to anyone.”
