Even since TV actress Pratyusha Banerjee allegedly hanged herself to death at her Mumbai apartment on April 1, numerous theories and allegations surrounding her demise have come to the fore. A look back at some shocking developments in the case.

The last call: In Pratyusha Banerjee's last frantic phone call to her boyfriend, Rahul Raj Singh, she accused him of cheating on her and separating her from her parents, revealed the prosecutor to the Bombay High Court on April 25.

'Murder' for insurance? Rahul Singh's father has claimed the only reason Pratyusha's parents were alleging she was murdered is because they want to claim her Rs 1-crore insurance money.

Pregnant Pratyusha? Medical investigations into the case of popular television actress Pratyusha Banerjee, who allegedly committed suicide, have indicated that she may have been pregnant before death.

'I still feel Pratyusha is alive': Rahul Raj Singh, who was booked for abetment of suicide of Pratyusha, told police that he is unable to believe that she is dead.

Murder she wrote: Pratyusha Banerjee's mother, Shoma, has written to Maharashtra CM, alleging that the 25-year-old did not commit suicide but was murdered by her boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh.

Money-minded? Adding another twist to the case, a former domestic help of the actress, alleged that Pratyusha's mother and Rahul fought with her frequently to gain control of her finances.


The ex-factor: Rahul Raj Singh's former girlfriend Saloni Sharma told cops that Rahul had cheated her and her father of Rs 25 lakh, on the pretext of starting an event management company.

Like star, like fan: A fan from Chhattisgarh took her own life because she was depressed by the sudden death of her favourite star.

Pratyusha tortured? According to cops, they had found old injury marks on Pratyusha Banerjee's body, which might indicate that she was tortured by Rahul, ultimately pushing her to commit suicide.

Laywer and liar: A day after he was booked for allegedly abetting his girlfriend Pratyusha Banerjee's suicide, Rahul's advocate Neeraj Gupta withdrew from the case, making a shocking claim.

Rahul Raj Singh's dubious past: Not only is he now being investigated for allegedly abetting Pratyusha's suicide and trying to take control of her money, but four other women have come forward with their own stories of how he charmed them into parting with lakhs.

Rakhi Sawant's bizarre comment: A few days after Pratyusha's death, Rakhi held a press conference in Mumbai, where she announced, "I want Prime Minster Narendra Modi to ban all ceiling fans and request people to use table fans and air-conditioning units as most people, who commit suicide, end up hanging themselves from fans.`

Messy end to TV star's life: Stench and clutter assailed cops as they entered Pratyusha Banerjee's Mumbai apartment a few days after she committed suicide there.

'Rahul is a cheater': Pratyusha was unhappy in her personal life, but wanted to marry and have a family of her own, her friends and colleagues from the industry said.

Was Pratyusha exploring legal options against boyfriend? The TV actress was supposedly considering filing a case against Rahul and had met her lawyer on the day of her death.
