After Pratyusha Banerjee's mother Soma Banerjee shot off a letter to the Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, requesting for a probe by Mumbai Police Crime Branch into her daughter's death, alleging that Pratyusha's boyfriend Rahul Raj Singh was 'solely responsible for her death', now Rahul's father has written a letter to the CM.

The letter, dated April 16, which has also been sent to the Home ministry and Mumbai police commissioner, states that Rahul has been traumatised and was in the hospital from April 3 since his to-be-wife (fiancée) committed suicide. “It's a sincere and urgent request to ensure that some antisocial persons, who do not know the actual facts, are harming my family name and reputation, and who shall and will be responsible if anything happens to any of my family members, especially my son Mr Rahul Raj Singh, who's extremely traumatised but is trying to be strong and brave in view of this unfortunate and unforeseen tragedy. Due to all these false allegations, he may take some drastic step which may be harmful to him and to the entire family,“ said the letter signed by Rahul's father Harshvardhan Singh.

He goes on to request the CM in the letter to ensure that justice prevails and there is no unnecessary interference or pressure by any anti-social persons who can harm the entire family and Rahul.

When contacted, Rahul, who was discharged from the hospital on Saturday, said, “This letter is for people to know that they shouldn't judge the family and me who loved Pratyusha. Don't judge the book by reading the preface, read the complete book. Let the truth come out and then judge. The idea behind the letter is I love her and I love her forever. It has been my biggest loss in life.“
