Actress Varsha Bhagwani has filed a complaint against Rahul Raj Singh, boyfriend of late television actress, Pratyusha Banerjee, who committed suicide in her home on April 1. According to police sources, Ms Bhagwani, in her statement, told the cops that Rahul was harassing and abusing her. Sources said Ms Bhagwani was Pratyusha’s friend and met Rahul two weeks ago at a party.
Meanwhile, Pratyusha’s father, Shankar Banerjee, told The Asian Age that Ms Bhagwani and Rahul had called him, posing as reporters from a reputed English daily newspaper, to misguide him about the current status of the Pratyusha suicide case. While Ms Bhagwani remained unavailable for comment.
According to sources, Rahul created a scene in Ms Bhagwani’s colony at Oshiwara and pushed her. In a similar incident, Ms Bhagwani’s auto was hit by Rahul’s car and she was injured after both had a fight on the road in Andheri. The actress in her police complaint told cops that Rahul was very violent and controlling her in every possible way and was still in depression after Pratyusha’s death.
Mr Banerjee told this newspaper that after he received a call from Ms Bhagwani posing as a reporter from a reputed English daily, he called the office of that daily to inquire if they had someone by that name in the organisation however, they said there was no such employee on their payroll.
“I am in Jamshedpur and after a week, I will be in Mumbai. We will then make more revelations about the call,” said Mr Banerjee.
