Mumbai Police booked Singh for abetment of suicide in Ptaryusha Banerjee's suicide. However, it is still not clear whether the Mumbai Police will arrest Rahul or not.

Meanwhile, Rahul's lawyer will move High Court, seeking bail.

He also added that Rahul had kept him in the dark about many things and did not reveal all the details to him regarding the case.

Earlier on Thursday it was revealed that Rahul has criminal records and had duped women in the past. Women have come forward with stories of how Rahul used to befriend them and later con them of lakhs of rupees.
