It is reported that her boyfriend dropped her off at the Kokilaben Dhiribhai Hospital in the city, took her phone and made an exit from the scene. While he is in touch with the police, stating his side of the story, Telegraph newspaper has some details on the strained relationship between Rahul and Pratyusha which may have pushed her to take this extreme step.

The newspaper reported that Pratyusha was eager to settle down with Rahul and was disturbed by the constant upheaval in her relationship with Rahul. A source told the paper that she had placed an order for a wedding lehenga with a prominent designer Rohit Roy. The source further said, “Knowing Rahul had got engaged to someone else seems to have been the last straw. She had a massive row with Rahul.”

‎Rahul Raj Singh‬'s alleged affair with ‪Saloni Sharma‬ resulted in death of Pratyusha?
While reports suggested that it was Rahul’s alleged affair with a TV actress, Dolly Bindra confirmed the news by stating that it was true. His affair with Saloni Sharma, a TV actress, caused Pratyusha heartbreak resulting in her death. Bindra quoted, “Rahul was involved with a girl named Saloni Sharma and this might be a reason behind the ugly spat between Pratyusha and Rahul. It is shocking news for the entire industry.” However, when daily.bhaskar.com contacted Saloni, she refuted all the claims. She quoted, “I do not have any involvement with this case. I don’t know why people are taking my name. I have never spoken to Pratyusha. All the allegations are baseless. It was the matter between two people; Pratyusha and Rahul. I was never involved between them. Also, the news about me dating Rahul is totally false.”

Six conspiracy theories surrounding the untimely death:
# A case of suicide due to personal woes. Reports claim that the actress was having trouble in her relationship with Rahul Raj Singh leading her to take such a drastic step.

# Reports of Pratyusha having financial perils are also doing the rounds. The actress didn’t take up any project for the past four months resulting in her financial crisis. This may have pushed the actress to end her life.

# Celebs from the TV fraternity claim that it is not a suicide but a murder. Actor Ajaz Khan openly stated that he doesn’t believe that it was a suicide as she was a strong person. He however, thinks that it is a cold blooded murder. Even another celeb from the industry thinks it’s a murder and not suicide.

# Sources close to the actress also stated that her boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh got engaged to someone else triggering her to take such a drastic step. One of the biggest theories making the rounds is that Rahul got betrothed to someone else that left the actress heartbroken.

# Possibility of men who posed as cops earlier this year to be behind this death. Another speculation behind Pratyusha’s death floating about is the involvement of the men who posed as cops who, according to her report, had tried to molest her. Theories suggest it could be a planned murder.

# Career downfall is another theory that has been gaining limelight. A lot of speculation has been going on concentrating on her work front. These claims state that Pratyusha did not have any job leading to financial crisis.

Pratyusha had sindoor on her forehead?


Actress Rakhi Sawant has suspected boyfriend Rahul’s role behind the death of Pratyusha.
She said that she was shocked to see the dead body of Pratyusha at the hospital.

“I went to the hospital with Dolly Bindra. I was shocked to look at Pratyusha’s face. There was sindoor smeared on the parting of her hairs. There were some scars on her neck and had black lips.”

Recalling her relationship with the deceased, Rakhi said:

“She was a very good friend of mine. She spoke to me before entering Bigg Boss and was seeking my advice as to how to behave in the show. I refused her to be a part of the show initially. Last I met her was at a Holi party.”

Rakhi has alleged that Rahul Raj was eating chips after admitting Pratyusha to the hospital and was shocked to learn about his disappearance from the hospital in such a mysterious manner.

“It is distressing to know that her boyfriend has taken away her mobile. I am afraid he will delete all the data from it. He was seen having chips at such a critical moment, I don’t understand what is he up to,” she added.

It seems Pratyusha was planning to get married soon to Rahul.  She had placed an order for her wedding lehenga with designer Rohit Verma recently, a source told The Telegraph, Calcutta. “Knowing Rahul had got engaged to someone else seems to have been the last straw. She had a massive row with Rahul,” said a police source to the daily.

It is very sad and disheartening, Our team's heartfelt condolences, thoughts and prayers are with Pratyusha and her family.
