Telugu actress Pratyusha showed promise before her alleged suicide

There are very close resemblances between the alleged suicide by Pratyusha Benerjee and her namesake, who was a budding Telugu and Tamil film actress over a decade ago. Telugu actress Pratyusha had allegedly committed suicide when she was given poison mixed in Coco-Cola in 2002 at a five-star hotel on the Tankbund. After that, she and her boyfriend, Siddhartha Reddy, had taken ill. They were admitted to a corporate hospital, where the Telugu actress succumbed to the poison but the boyfriend survived. In a well-documented case in the annals of the AP High Court, the hearing went on for long in the court of Dr S.R. Naik. In the final judgment, the Judge left the murder charge open to be eventually proved or otherwise. The suspicion of murder arose after a forensic expert had opined that the cause of the death of Telugu Pratyusha was `asphyxia due to manual strangulation.' Telugu actress Pratyusha was born at Bhongir. Her film, `Sound Party', was released after her passing away, and earned good reviews. The name Pratyusha is cursed for actresses?
