“It is unbelievable that she could commit suicide because I know her and she is a strong woman,” said actress Dolly Bindra.
Even as Banerjee’s friends and co-actors gathered at the hospital, the medical authorities were yet to release an official statement. The doctors confirmed that they were waiting for Banerjee’s mother to arrive from Jamshedpur.
In January this year, a non cognizable offence was registered against Singh after he defaulted on a bank loan and allegedly assaulted a loan recovery agent. Singh had listed Banerjee’s residence as his address. The actress later alleged that eight men posing as policemen barged into her house to claim the money and molested her. The police denied the charge and said they went to her house to look for Singh. The matter is still under probe.
