Bengali Film Fraternity Demands Justice, Files FIR Over Actor's Tragic Death
In a significant development, members of the West Bengal Motion Picture Artists' Forum took formal legal action on Saturday afternoon by filing a First Information Report (FIR) at the Regent Park police station. The complaint targets the production house responsible for the television show Bhole Baba Par Karega, following the untimely death of actor Rahul Arunoday Banerjee.
Growing Dissatisfaction with Production House Responses

The filing of the FIR was a collective effort, with Rahul Banerjee's wife, Priyanka Sarkar, present alongside forum members to submit the General Diary (GD) entry at the police station. Their unified demand is clear: a comprehensive inquiry that leaves no stone unturned in determining the facts behind the tragedy.
