Television actress Pratyusha Banerjee, known for her role of adult Anandi in the serialBalika Vadhu, allegedly committed suicide in Mumbai on Friday, police said. Pratyusha hanged herself from a fan at her Kandivli residence but was found and taken to the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital where she succumbed.
Police have taken Banerjee's boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh for interrogation and her post mortem report will be released by 4 pm on Saturday. Her body is currently at Sidharth Hospital in Goregaon. The investigation is happening at Bangur Nagar police station in Goregaon.
According to sources within the police, the last person to have visited her house was the laundry man.
However, Singh gave his first statement to the police earlier today, claiming he was the one who took Banerjee's body to the hospital.
"We used to stay in a 2 bedroom flat. We had two keys; one key was with Pratyusha and the other was with me. When I entered the bedroom, I found Pratyusha hanging from the ceiling. I got very scared.  Immediately, I called the neighbours and with their help, I took her to Kokilaben Hospital. We assumed that she was alive, but she was not. I got so scared that I did not inform the police. It was the hospital authorities who informed them. After the doctor’s declaration, I called up Pratyusha’s family members and few of our close friends," said Singh, as reported by Pinkvilla.

Initial reports suggested she was facing a turmoil in her personal life.
Her colleagues from the industry and her fans are in complete disbelief with news that the talented young girl, all of 24, is no more.
Veteran actress Surekha Sikri, who played Dadisa to Pratyusha's character in Balika Vadhu, told IANS: "I am absolutely shocked. I knew her, she was very sweet. She was a sensitive person, she must have taken something to heart and must have got really emotional."
According to Tanuj Garg, former CEO of Balaji Motion Pictures, she had plans to marry her longtime boyfriend Rahul Singh.
"Terrible, terrible news about Pratyusha Banerjee. Met her once at a party. How extreme must pressures be to drive one to take one's own life. Friends met Pratyusha Banerjee and her boyfriend Rahul (who owns a production house) on Holi and they seemed happy. They were to get married," Garg shared on Twitter.
Social media went into a tizzy once the news of Pratyusha's suicide surfaced, with many hoping that it is an April Fools' joke.
Hailing from Jharkhand, Pratyusha catapulted to fame with her role in Balika Vadhu between 2010-2013.
She was later seen in the reality dance show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5, Bigg Boss 7 and hosted some episodes of Savdhaan India. She recently appeared in Sasural Simar Ka.
Pratyusha was earlier dating businessman named Makrand Malhotra, with whom she had a bitter break-up and against whom she had lodged a complaint for abusive behaviour.
Earlier this year, Pratyusha had filed an FIR against eight men, including three policemen, claiming they tried to barge into her residence here in relation with a car loan that her boyfriend Rahul Singh had taken from a bank.
Actress Avika Gor told India Today TV that she couldn't believe Pratyusha had killed herself. "I have never seen her depressed or upset," she said.
Other celebrities too shared their sorrow on Twitter:

Pratyusha Banerjee, TV actor of Balika Vadhu fame, committed suicide by hanging at her home in Mumbai on Friday. However, it seems like there is a lot more to the story than what is being let out.
Pratyusha was declared dead at around 7:15 pm when she was brought into the Kokilaben Hospital in Andheri by her boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh. According to a report by CNN-IBN, Rahul has been detained by the police for questioning.
Mumbai Police DCP Vikram Deshpande said, “The search is going on in the flat where apparently the prima facie suicide has taken place, EDR has been registered and we are doing investigation. It is too early to say the cause of the death.”
The actor’s parents reached Mumbai on Saturday. They will be taking Banerjee’s body after the autopsy is completed.
Mumbai police spokesperson Dhananjay Kulkarni said her body was found around 5pm.
Her parents, who were in Jamshedpur took a flight to Mumbai soon after the news reached them, Banerjee’s co-actors told HT.
Her body was sent to Siddharth Hospital in Goregaon for the post-mortem around midnight. An accidental death report (ADR) was registered at Bangurnagar police station.
The police will be relying on the autopsy to ascertain the cause of death and only then will they be in a position to comment if any foul play is suspected.

Though the reason for this drastic step is not yet known, there are rumours that the 24-year-old was suffering from heartache over a failed love affair with Rahul, who recently participated with her in the reality show Power Couple.
CNN-IBN also spoke to a few neighbours, one of whom said, “We are all very shocked about this. Few days back only I met her and Rahul. They seemed absolutely fine, never thought anything of this kind. She seemed fine when I saw her.”
Meanwhile, insiders revealed that Pratyusha’s last Whatsapp status that read ‘Mar Ke Bhi Munh Na Tujse Modna’ was probably a hint about her impending suicide.
It is also being said that Rahul looked calm and unaffected by the situation during his stay at the hospital and left the place in hurry on pretext that he was booking flight tickets for Pratyusha’s parents.

Talking over the same, the actress’ close friend Dolly Bindra said that she was strong and cannot commit suicide, while her co-participant from Bigg Boss Ajaz Khan told ANI, ‘I don’t think its suicide. I think its planned murder.’
Also, some reports suggest that the police are also suspecting some foul play in this tragic incident as Pratyusha’s body apparently had a faint rope mark on her neck. Her left cheek was bruised and she had blood coming from her mouth.

But neither her eyes nor her tongue had popped out, which is normally the case when someone hangs themselves. These are the factors that are currently being investigated by the authorities.
