Pratyusha’s mother moves SC to cancel Rahul’s anticipatory bail

Mother of 24-year-old ‘Balika Badhu’ fame actor Pratyusha Banerjee, who was found dead at her residence in Mumbai under mysterious circumstances, on Thursday moved the Supreme Court, seeking cancellation of anticipatory bail granted by the Bombay high court to actor-producer Rahul 

Raj Singh accused of abetting her suicide.

The plea was mentioned before a Vacation Bench of Justices AM Sapre and Ashok Bhushan, who have fixed the hearing on May 30. Counsel appearing for Pratyusha’s mother Soma Banerjee said Rahul should be taken into custody as the investigation was still on in the case and there was likelihood that he could tamper with the evidence. Soma sought custodial interrogation of Rahul, contending that there were several deep injury marks on Pratyusha’s body. The High Court had 

on April 25 granted anticipatory bail to Rahul who has denied the allegations levelled against him. 

Soma Banerjee has also launched an online petition, seeking a CBI probe into the case. She launched the petition on global online platform provider change.org. Pratyusha was found hanging at her residence in suburban Goregaon on April 1.
