Rejecting his bail plea earlier, the High Court had observed that Pratyusha was abused several times, adding it cannot be said that he neither abetted nor instigated her to commit suicide.
The sessions' court had earlier stated the matter should be thoroughly investigated in the light of accusations against Rahul, adding that it was not possible in his absence as the police will find it difficult to collect the best possible evidence.
An FIR was registered against the producer-actor, who was in a live-in relationship with Pratyusha after her mother Soma alleged that he had abetted and instigated the suicide. 24-year-old Pratyusha, who shot to fame for her role as Anandi in Balika Vadhu, allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself inside her flat in suburban Goregaon on April 1.
