PICS: Rahul Raj Singh with Ex Girlfriend Saloni Sharma who used to allegedly torture Pratyusha Banerjee!
Addressing the media outside Shree Sai hospital at Kandivali, where Rahul is admitted right now, his father Harshvardhan Singh said that his son is innocent and TV celebs are blaming Rahul for no reason.
Rahul's father told mid-day that Pratyusha was unhappy because of her parents, not his son. "Around a month back, Pratyusha came to Ranchi and met us. She said she wanted to marry Rahul. We asked her why she 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," he alleged.

"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 - around Rs 5,000 -10,000. She was earning well, so I don't understand why she was bankrupt," he added.
