Forty-eight hours after the tragic demise of actor Rahul Arunoday Banerjee, the investigation has hit a wall of contradictions. Was it a fall, or did he get stuck in quicksand? Amidst these lingering questions, former police officer Salil Bhattacharya has sparked a massive row by suggesting potential foul play. He questioned whether the actor was drugged or poisoned prior to the incident.

Bhattacharya pointed out that the autopsy revealed ‘edema’ in the lungs, which could be a sign of extreme sodium levels or toxic ingestion. Terming it “Criminal Negligence” or even “Culpable Homicide,” he slammed the production house for not informing the local police about the shoot.

The Timeline Discrepancy: The most glaring loophole remains the timeline. Talsari is just 7 km from Digha State General Hospital, a distance that takes barely 20 minutes to cover. Yet, it took over an hour to bring Rahul to the hospital. Doctors confirmed that the discoloration of tissues indicated he remained submerged in water for a long period. Had he been brought in time, he might have survived. The silence of the Cine Federation and conflicting statements from the 70-member crew on set have led many to wonder—is the truth being deliberately buried?
