Leading daily, Times Of India, quoted Neeraj Gupta as saying, "Rahul was partying with a girl at Bora Bora restaurant on March 31, the night before Pratyusha committed suicide. He even fought with the girl."
Neeraj also claim that Rahul had a "modus operandi" where he used to introduce actresses to drugs, con them and then leave them. “And Rahul had done same with the Balika Vadhu actress,” said his ex-lawyer Neeraj.
Neeraj Gupta also made a similar statement like Mumbai Police about Pratyusha’s injuries. He said that the actress had injuries on her nose and cheekbones at the time of her demise.
His ex-lawyer also confirmed that Rahul was earlier married to Sougata Mukherjee, an air hostess and has not got a divorce decree yet.
The lawyer of TV producer Rahul Raj Singh, who has been booked for abetment of his girlfriend actress Pratyusha Banerjee's suicide, has withdrawn from the Case on Thursday.
"I withdrew from the case on humanitarian grounds. I felt that I shouldn't be fighting the case, and hence left it so that injustice is not done to anyone," Rahul's lawyer Neeraj Gupta told media.
On April 1, the 24-year-old actress, who shot to fame for her role of Anandi in hit TV series "Balika Vadhu", allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself inside her flat at Goregoan area of western suburbs.
Police are also trying to ascertain whether the deceased was in financial troubles or had any dispute with Singh.
Some reports suggested the actress, who hailed from Jamshedpur, was depressed over not getting roles in TV serials.
On Sunday, Singh was admitted in ICU ward of a hospital in Kandivali after he complained of chest pain and breathlessness, said police.
As part of their probe, police spoke to several people, including the common friends of Singh and Banerjee, their close relatives, friends, neighbours and domestic help.
Police are awaiting the viscera report of the actress.
