Actor Rahul Arunoday Banerjee's wife Priyanka Sarkar has filed a complaint with Odisha Police after his death last week. An FIR was registered on Friday night following her complaint.
Banerjee, 43, allegedly drowned during a shoot of a Bengali television serial at Talsari beach in Balasore district on March 29. He was shooting for a TV show when he accidentally slipped into seawater and was declared dead by a doctor at a Digha hospital.
Priyanka Sarkar has urged the investigation of his death, and police officials will investigate from all angles, including any criminal conspiracy to the incident.
A complaint was also lodged by the West Bengal Motion Picture Artists' Forum at the Regent Park police station in Kolkata against the producers of the serial, accusing them of conducting the shoot in a negligent manner that endangered human lives.
Rahul Banerjee started his career in the early 2000s, acting in several critically acclaimed Bengali films and TV soaps. He rose to fame with the 2008 Bengali film Chirodini Tumi Je Amar and went on to feature in films like Jackpot, Love Circus, Shono Mon Boli Tomay and more.
