Pratyusha Banerjee's unfortunate death on April 1st this year has been in the headlines since the incident took place. In a new chain of events, as per a media agency, a signature campaign is launched by parents of late TV actress to garner support for a CBI probe into her unnatural death. The campaign has said to receive a good response as over 1000 people signed in favor of the demand on Wednesday. "Till now, more than 1000 people have signed on the banner supporting our demand for a CBI probe into the death of Pratyusha," said Sankar Banerjee, Pratyusha's father.
"There is no space left in the banner but people are still putting their signature on it," said Banerjee, who was accompanied by his wife Soma and other relatives. The signature campaign began at 5 PM and was to continue till 8 PM at Bata Chowk in Sakchi market, he said expressing satisfaction over the response.The campaign is preceded by an online campaign where around 700 people have already shown their support for a CBI probe.
"We have lost everything and it is now the people and media support that could help meet our demand. But if it fails to evoke any positive response, we will be left with no option but to seek euthanasia," said the actress' father. He demanded capital punishment for Pratyusha's boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh, who, they alleged, have murdered their daughter in cold blood. Banerjee said they would meet Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das and Jharkhand Women's Commission Chairperson on Thursday at Ranchi to seek their support for CBI support to unearth the mystery behind Pratyusha s death. "My daughter can never commit suicide," he said.
