The curious case of actress Pratyusha Bannerjee's suicide seems to be getting murkier and murkier! While there were speculations that the actress was pregnant at the time of her suicide on April 1, news reports have now surfaced with doctors confirming that the actress was indeed pregnant during the time of her death.
While the forensic surgeons at the time of her suicide had noted a whitish fluid in the uterus, 20 days later doctors at the JJ Hospital have confirmed that the Balika Vadhu star seems to have had undergone an abortion a couple of days before her tragic death.
In a report carried by the times of India, doctors from the JJ Hospital have said doctors that an examination of Pratyusha’s uterine tissues indicated that “there was a conception a few days or a month before her demise, and that there was a premature death of the foetal cell”. The report, however, said that it would be difficult to conduct a DNA test as there was hardly any foetel matter left to establish the paternity.
The medical authorities have submitted the report to the Mumbai police as there was a case filed against Pratyusha’s boyfriend Rahul Singh for abetting her suicide. Further tests are being conducted at the Kalina Forensic Science Laboratory where Pratyusha’s hair, nail and blood samples have been kept with the authorities.
Pratyusha and Jiah: Two stars with the same fate
Pratyusha’s case bears a striking similarity with actress Jiah Khan, who had also committed suicide after undergoing an alleged abortion.
While their deaths had sent shockwaves across the country, both the actresses' had turbulent relationships which were held responsible for their untimely deaths.
On June 3, 2013, Jiah was found hanging from a ceiling fan at her flat in in Juhu, Mumbai. Pratyusha Banerjee is said to have hanged herself from a fan at her Kandivali residence. Both of them were quite young at the time of their death. While Jiah was 25, Pratyusha was a year younger to her.
Reports had revealed that Jiah had undergone an abortion days before her suicide and now, with theses reports coming up, looks like Pratyusha also went through the same.
However, one thing that is really disturbing is that both Pratyusha and Jiah made it big at quite a young age and their life ahead could have been promising for them had they chosen to be strong and not self-punish themselves.
