The tragic demise of Tollywood actor Rahul Arunoday Banerjee has taken a mysterious turn with new details emerging from the investigation. While initial reports suggested the accident occurred at Talsari, it has now been confirmed that the tragedy unfolded at the dangerous estuary of Old Digha. Sources close to the production unit revealed a chilling detail: Rahul had complained of mild chest pain just minutes before entering the sea.

Witnesses from the set of his latest project mentioned that after the “pack-up,” Rahul expressed a desire to refresh himself in the water despite feeling slight physical discomfort. The Old Digha estuary is notorious for its shifting sands and unpredictable undercurrents. It is suspected that his pre-existing chest pain made it impossible for him to fight the forceful waves once he got stuck in the quicksand.

By the time he was pulled out and rushed to the Digha Sub-divisional Hospital, the actor had already succumbed. Medical experts suggest that the physical exertion combined with the panic of drowning likely triggered a massive cardiac arrest. The local police have cordoned off the area and are questioning the crew members to reconstruct the sequence of events. The loss of such a vibrant talent, who was a household name in Bengal, has left his fans and the film fraternity in deep mourning.
