For the first time
since the 1 April death of his live-in partner, TV actress Pratyusha
Banerjee, Rahul Raj Singh has presented his version of what transpired.
In an interview with The Times of India, published on Thursday, Rahul spoke about his allegedly troubled relationship with Pratyusha, the decision to terminate her pregnancy and the reports that he had financially exploited her. He also claimed that Pratyusha had a drinking problem.
#1. Pratyusha was drinking heavily on the day of her death
According to Rahul's statement, Pratyusha had consumed a fair quantity of alcohol over the night of March 31 (as they partied with a friend) and through the day on 1 April. He says he left the apartment to get some food, at which time he asked Pratyusha to stop drinking so much. It was when he returned that he found the bell had been turned off and the door double locked. This was when his neighbour's domestic help offered to climb into his balcony from the adjoining flat's and unlock the door from within. The duo found Pratyusha hanging from the ceiling fan.
