The First Question

How was the crew shooting in the sea without any safety gear like life jackets or lifeboats? And how deep were they shooting? The sea at Talsari looks calm, but it's known for its dangerous quicksand.

The Second Question

The crew didn't take permission from the Talsari marine police, coast guard, or the fishermen's cooperative. Talsari is on the West Bengal-Odisha border. Fans believe that if the police had been informed, they could have perhaps prevented Rahul's death.

The Third Question

Why didn't the crew immediately call for help from trained local divers, known as 'nuliyas', who know the dangers of that part of the sea? Reports say the shooting crew themselves rescued Rahul and took him to the hospital.

The Fourth Question

This is the most critical question. Rahul's driver said he was in the water for a long time. The production house claims it was only 7-8 minutes. But the initial post-mortem report suggests he was submerged for a long time, maybe even an hour, as a lot of sand and saltwater was found in his body and his lungs were swollen. The exact time is still unknown.

The Fifth Question

From day one, people from the shooting unit have been giving different versions of the story. Production head Leena Gangopadhyay said the script had no deep-water scene. Actress Shweta Mishra said the accident happened during the shoot. Another source claims Shweta fell in first and Rahul drowned trying to save her. A production member even said the accident happened *after* the shoot, and Rahul had ignored their warnings. What really happened that Sunday evening in Talsari?
