Film director and close friend of Rahul Arunoday Banerjee, Sourav Palodhi, slams reports that claimed the late actor was intoxicated

Multiple reports claimed that popular Bengali actor, Rahul Arunoday Banerjee was intoxicated at the time of his passing. In a recent interview with The Wall, film director and close friend of Rahul Arunoday Banerjee, Sourav Palodhi slammed those reports and revealed that the late actor had stopped drinking many months ago. He mentioned that Rahul had never shied away from accepting that he was an alcoholic, but his last few months' activity stated that these are all rumours. Sourav added that raising such a question is a crime at the moment, as Rahul’s near and dear ones want the truth to prevail. He was quoted as saying:

"He himself admitted that this was a problem. Rahulda was trying to overcome. He would come to me and say, 'Sourav, it has been three months but I haven't touched it'. We had a get-together, till that day he didn't touch the glass. This is proven to be a lie. Because there is no mention of it in the autopsy report. The reason for my anger is that this discussion is being instigated to benefit many others. I am uncomfortable with this. I don't know who is spreading this, Rahulda was an alcoholic; it is unfortunate. Raising this discussion is a crime. Raising this question is a crime."
