Pratyusha Banerjee's parents demand re-investigation of caseMumbai :  The parents of actress Pratyusha Banerjee, who was found dead on April 1 here, have sought re-investigation of her alleged suicide.

A purported transcript of Pratyusha’s last telephonic conversation with her boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh has reportedly come out, suggesting that the police might have overlooked several aspects of the case related to the “Balika Vadhu” actress’ death.

“We have decided to take the next step and now we want either crime branch or the CBI to investigate this case. For that purpose we have given a written application to the sessions court,” Neeraj Gupta, the advocate for Pratyusha’s parents, told IANS.

Gupta said the police has not been co-operative and has supported Singh to destroy some evidence.

“There is some conspiracy that’s going on. The police has not been co-operative with us at all. They have supported Rahul to destroy some evidence which was very crucial for our case. I have raised so many issues, but it all went unanswered.

“So now we have decided to not go through the local police and have demanded for a re-investigation. We now want the crime branch to investigate this matter,” Gupta added.

Pratyusha, known for her role of adult Anandi in the serial “Balika Vadhu”, was found hanging from a fan at her Goregaon residence. She was taken to a hospital where she was declared brought dead.

Singh has been accused of abetting her suicide. He has not taken kindly to a media report accusing him of forcing Pratyusha into prostitution, and referred to his last conversation with Pratyusha that has come out.

He says that according to the transcript of the last phone call, “she (Pratyusha) is clearly blaming her parents for pushing her into prostitution and spoiling her name”.

“At one point she can also be heard saying that she actually doubts her parentage. If you will read my part, I can be clearly heard reassuring her not to take all this seriously and to even file a case against her family for tarnishing her name,” he said.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
