Pratyusha Banerjee’s parents approach Rajnath Singh for help
It has been more than a month since Pratyusha’s death and controversies don’t just seem to end.
Pratyusha’s boyfriend, Rahul Raj Singh was questioned on her suicide and police filed case against him under sections 306 (abetment to suicide), 504 (Intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace), 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) and 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt) of the Indian Penal Code.
Pratyusha Banerjee’s parents, Soma and Shankar Banerjee, are still trying to come to terms with the tragic death of their only child.
Now, they have another battle to fight ahead, that too a long one. They believe that Rahul Raj Singh, aka Pratyusha’s boyfriend, is responsible for her death and want him punished.
According to latest reports, Pratyusha’s parents have submitted a letter to the Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh to pass on their daughter’s case to the ‘most premier investigation agency’ to ensure justice.
Rajnath Singh has assured them to look into the issue and take action soon. The letter also mentioned more details of the case.
They said they have not named any agency as they did not wish to upset the probe that was being carried out by the Mumbai police right now. The letter mentioned that Pratyusha (24) came in contact with Rahul Raj Singh last June who within days “entrapped her in his love game”. “On the pretext of celebrating her birthday last August, Rahul demanded Rs 2 lakh from us and has been harassing her mentally and physically and reduced her bank balance to zero a day before her murder,” the letter stated.
The letter alleged that though she (Soma) had informed the police about possible foul play into the death, since she was not familiar with Marathi, the language of the first information report, she was unaware that the police had registered it merely as a case of suicide on April 1. It stated that despite adequate material with the police in the form of call data records, witness statements and site panchanama and their own case that Rahul consumed drugs, the police have failed to register it as a murder case.
