Final Verdict Today in Actress Pratyusha Death Case – Will Justice Be Served?

The long-pending death case of popular Telugu actress Pratyusha has reached a crucial stage, with the Supreme Court of India set to deliver its final verdict today. The case, which has been ongoing for nearly 24 years, continues to draw attention from the film industry and the public alike.

Pratyusha, who was widely admired for her beauty, talent, and screen presence, was a familiar face to 1990s youth. At the peak of her acting career in Tollywood, her sudden death in 2002 sent shockwaves across the industry.

What Happened in 2002?

On February 23, 2002, Pratyusha allegedly consumed pesticide along with her boyfriend, Siddharth Reddy, in what was initially reported as a suicide attempt. While Pratyusha succumbed during treatment, Siddharth Reddy survived after receiving medical care.

Following her death, Pratyusha’s mother, Sarojini, accused Siddharth Reddy of being responsible for her daughter’s demise and filed a case against him. He was subsequently arrested and sentenced by the High Court. However, Siddharth Reddy later challenged the High Court’s verdict in the Supreme Court.

At the same time, Sarojini also filed petitions seeking enhanced punishment for the accused. The Supreme Court had reserved its judgment on these petitions, and today it is expected to pronounce the final ruling.

Key Questions Raised

As the country awaits the verdict, several questions continue to surface:

Will the court increase the sentence?

Will it reduce the punishment?

Most importantly, will justice finally be served to Pratyusha after more than two decades?

Mother’s Allegations Resurface

In a past interview given four years ago, Sarojini made several startling claims. She stated that on the day before her death, Pratyusha had gone out with Siddharth Reddy. According to her, Pratyusha had recently been confirmed as the heroine for the film Jayam and had mentioned visiting the office regarding the project words that, tragically, became her last.

Sarojini also claimed that hospital staff told her a car rushed Pratyusha to the hospital and that she was already unconscious when brought in. She questioned how Siddharth Reddy, if he had also consumed poison, was able to drive to the hospital and reach the first floor on his own.

Further, she alleged that Siddharth Reddy admitted himself to the hospital to avoid suspicion and make it appear as though he too had attempted suicide. She also raised concerns about missing evidence, including her daughter’s clothes, which hospital authorities reportedly claimed were discarded during treatment.

Sarojini has alleged that crucial evidence was destroyed with the involvement of medical staff and the accused.

Nation Awaits Closure

With the Supreme Court’s final judgment expected today, emotions are running high. Supporters and fans of Pratyusha hope that justice will finally prevail. Social media is abuzz with discussions, and many are closely watching how the court will conclude this decades-old case.

Will today bring closure to one of Tollywood’s most tragic and controversial cases? The answer will unfold in the coming hours.
