Rahul Raj Singh, boyfriend of TV actor Pratyusha Banerjee who allegedly
committed suicide on Friday, was admitted to a Mumbai hospital on
Sunday. Singh’s lawyer Neeraj Gupta told ANI that Rahul is suffering
from depression and complained of chest pain, after which he was taken
to the hospital.
Singh was questioned by the Mumbai Police on Saturday in connection with Pratyusha’s suicide. The Balika Vadhu actor was found hanging from the ceiling in her Mumbai apartment.
The police said they detained Singh for questioning but have not found anything incriminating against him yet, and he was let off late on Saturday.
Banerjee was allegedly reprimanded by Singh for drinking too much at a party, which was held at their apartment the day before, less than an hour before she hanged herself.

The next morning before going to the church, Singh asked Banerjee to come along but she refused, sources said, adding, that after Singh got home from the church, the couple napped and Singh woke up around 1pm.
A police source said Singh had reprimanded Banerjee after he found her consuming alcohol in the afternoon. He then freshened up, and before taking another nap, asked her to wake him up in a while.
Banerjee woke Singh up around 2.45pm following which he went out to get lunch and returned home around 3.15pm. Singh’s advocate Neeraj Gupta said, “Rahul found that the door was locked from within and he had not taken a key. He called Banerjee on her phone several times, but did not get an answer. He also dropped a text message.”
After calling her several times, Singh fetched a key maker, who tried to open the lock, Gupta added. The police said a cook from the neighbouring flat eventually entered their flat through a window.
Around 4.30pm, Banerjee was found hanging from the ceiling, the police said, adding that Singh rushed her to Kokilaben Hospital and then called Banerjee’s uncle before informing her parents and close friends.
The police said Singh spoke to someone after getting Banerjee to the hospital, switched off his phone and then left the hospital. But he was later found by the police and they added this is the only reason they have detained him for questioning.
Advocate Neeraj Gupta, who is representing Singh, said, “Let the police investigate the case. My client is innocent.” When asked if the couple had a fight, Gupta rubbished them as baseless rumours. He also refuted claims of a financial dispute.
