Pratyusha Banerjee hung herself and committed suicide on April 1. The actress was announced dead on arrival at the hospital. Although it was boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh who brought Pratyusha to the hospital, he was absconding later for hours before he finally came to see Pratyusha for one last time. 

There have been numerous conjectures about Rahul and his troubled past. Pratyusha's friends and famil too came out and held Rahul responsible for Pratyusha's death. Rahul was admitted in the hospital after he complained of chest pain and uneasiness. Now that he has finally been discharged, he went through an extensive police interrogation. 

But it was in a chat with a leading daily that Rahul finally broke silence and explained what happened on April 1- the day Pratyusha committed suicide. "Pratyusha, I and a common friend partied and chatted the night away. The latter left at 8.30 am on April 1. We decided to eat out. If we had cooked at home that day, the incident wouldn't have taken place. When I got up, Pratyusha went for a shower and started drinking again. She had a drinking problem. I told her to stop drinking so much. I left to get food later," Rahul told Times of India. 

It was when he returned home that he found her hanging from the ceiling. Rahul revealed, "On returning home, I rang the bell and it was turned off. My key didn't work since it was double locked. I banged the door. When there was no response, I started calling her and dropped messages. I went down to get the locksmith to make duplicate keys. In the meantime, our neighbour's domestic held reached out to me and I requested him to jump over to my balcony from his and open the double lock from inside. The first thing I saw after entering the home was Pratyusha hanging from the fan." 

What did he do then? He told the daily, "I immediately rushed towards her and placed her legs on my shoulders. The locksmith cut her dupatta. I splashed water on her face, started pumping her chest and gave her mouth-to-mouth to revive her. I immediately lifted her, carried her down and sat in the car besides her. I was restless and jumped every signal possible." Still, he could not save her life. 

After admitting her at the hospital, Rahul called Pratyusha's family and informed them of her suicide. When asked about the reason why went MIA, he explained, "I rushed Pratyusha to the hospital and wanted to save her. I waited there for two and a half hours. I called everyone, including her uncle and parents. I was not in a state to face the media. I handed her over to her parents. I was feeling terrible and could not believe that she was no more. I was inundated with calls from the media. So, I decided to leave. I went to the police and Siddharth Hospital the next day. I was not arrested."
