mid-day reported that the actress was found hanging from the ceiling fan in the apartment on Friday. Her mother, Shoma, pointed to the fact that Pratyusha was often upset because of her rocky relationship with Rahul (&lsquo;They&rsquo;d begun fighting more&rsquo;, April 3). But Rahul&rsquo;s father, Harshwardhan Singh told mid-day that Pratyusha was unhappy because of her parents, not his son. &ldquo;Around a month back, Pratyusha came to Ranchi and met us. She said she wanted to marry Rahul. We asked her why is did not come with her parents and she said that she was going to file a case against them. All the money Pratyusha had was taken by her parents. She had borrowed over R50 lakh for them and was under tremendous pressure as the financiers used to call her,&rdquo; he alleged.

&ldquo;She never had any personal account; she only had a joint account. Her money was being handled by her parents. Sometimes I used to send money to Pratyusha &ndash; around R5,000 &ndash;10,000. She was earning well, so I don't understand why she was bankrupt,&rdquo; he added.

He also addressed allegations that Rahul may have played a role in her death, Harshwardhan said, &ldquo;Rahul was very serious about Pratyusha. Mere bete ne pyar kiya hai, aur jo pyar karta hai vo aisa nahi karega.&rdquo;
According to the Bangur Nagar police, during interrogation, Rahul confessed that he has a single bank account, but later it was revealed that he also has a joint saving account with Pratyusha in a nationalised bank.&nbsp;&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not murder but a suicide case. The reason for suicide is not yet clear. We are cross checking all the possible angles, including their joint bank account. We have sent a later to the bank and asked for account statements and related documents from the account,&rdquo; said a police official.

According to the father of Pratyusha Banerjee&rsquo;s fiance, the actress was not stressed because of his son but because of her parents who had left her in a financial crisis
