Calcutta, May 22 :     Five days after actress Rumni Chatterjee committed suicide, her husband, Debangshu Sengupta, was produced in court on Monday afternoon. Sub-divisional judicial magistrate Biswanath Bhattacharya remanded the tele-serial director, arrested last Friday, to judicial custody till May 31. The judge directed the authorities at Alipore Central Jail to monitor his physical condition and provide necessary 'medical help'. 'Having completed our interrogation, we decided not to appeal before the court for police custody,' additional superintendent (industrial) S.N. Gupta said. The police picked up Sengupta from a nursing home in Jadavpur on Monday morning after doctors there declared him fit. He was first taken to Jadavpur police station for interrogation. The police had been questioning Sengupta, arrested for 'abetting suicide' and 'torture on a woman', at the nursing home for the past few days. According to sources, preliminary police investigations have revealed that the 24-year-old actress was 'never physically tortured' by her husband and her death was, indeed, a case of suicide. Investigations have also confirmed that the marriage was 'strained' due to various factors. The main reason appears to be the fact that the actress continued to keep in touch with her ex-husband, Prasenjit Pal, despite Sengupta's disapproval. 'We are also interrogating the couple's maid, who lives in Dhakuria. On Wednesday evening, Rumni Chatterjee had given her Rs 10 and asked her to leave. Soon after that, she hanged herself,' said Salil Bhattacharya, officer-in-charge, Jadavpur police station. On Sunday, the police had searched the Prince Ghulam Hussain Shah Road flat, in which the couple had been living since last September. They were accompanied by Sengupta's sister, Debjani, a school teacher at Santiniketan, and a neighbour, Jyotsnamoy Guha Thakurta, as 'witness'. 'As far as I could make out, the police did not find anything of note in the flat,' said Guha Thakurta. The neighbours of the couple in Jadavpur are watching the developments in the case with keen interest. 'We had very little clue about what was going on in their household, but there was hardly any hint of trouble. The girl was always full of praise for her husband,' observed Samapti Dey. But neighbour Tapas Sinha was less sympathetic: 'The kind of lifestyle they used to lead was very different from anyone else's in the locality. They used to come back late at night and all kinds of people used to drop in to their flat at odd hours. It was a typical filmi lifestyle.' At the Alipore courts, members of the 'Rumni fan club' staged a noisy demonstration, demanding 'exemplary punishment' for Sengupta.
