Pratyusha, a popular television actor, was found hanging in her Mumbai apartment in 2016. Her parents accused her then-boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh of having a hand in her death.

“After this accident, it seems as if some terrible storm has come and has taken everything away from us. We did not have a single penny left with us. We have lost everything while fighting in the second case,” Pratyusha’s father, Shankar Banerjee, told Aaj Tak. “We are now forced to live in one room. This case took away everything from us. Many times, there has been a situation where we were forced to take loans,” he added.
