Rahul Raj Singh files FIR against Kamya Punjabi for defamation

Television actress Pratyusha Banerjee’s death on April 1 sent shockwaves across the nation but it seems like there’s no end to the controversies around her suicide.

Few days ago, Pratyusha’s close friend, actress Kamya Punjabi announced that she made a short film ‘Hum Kuchh Keh Naa Sakey’ featuring her late friend Pratyusha Banerjee which she will release on her first death anniversary.

Kamya had earlier said in a statement that the film bears resemblance to Pratyusha’s real life.  Now Pratyusha’s former boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh (who was booked in her suicide case) claims that Kamya is just trying to make money by using Pratyusha’s name.

In fact, Rahul has even filed a complaint with the police regarding the issue. Here is what it (the complaint) says:

“I lost my girlfriend last year on 1st April 2016. On 27/3/2017 I was shocked to read that Kamya Punjabi had given an interview and declared that she is releasing one short film based on the life of my girlfriend Pratyusha Banerjee, and she has portrayed my character in an abusive manner. Further, she has used my girlfriend Pratyusha’s old video as a new one,” Pinkvilla reported.

Kamya, on the other side, laughed off all Rahul’s allegations and clarified her stand on the subject: “It’s been produced by a friend, Neeru Nikhat. She called me a few days ago, and said that let’s do something about this movie, let’s release it online. And I was like yes, we should.”  She added, “Whatever we earn from this movie, I will be handing it all over to Pratyusha’s parents…People need to realise that it is okay to talk about your issues rather than going through them alone, I want people to know this.”

As far as Rahul’s complaint is concerned, Kamya says she couldn’t bother less. “I haven’t received any intimation from the police so far. I know for sure that it isn’t an FIR and just a hand written complaint. Whatever it is, my lawyers are dealing with it.”

The film will be releasing on the late actress’ first death anniversary on April 1, 2017.
