"I still maintain that he DID NOT commit suicide" - The INSIDE story on the last 24 hours of Guru Dutt's life; a brother's emotional recollection

The 100th birth anniversary of one of the greatest film personalities ever, Guru Dutt, is celebrated on July 9. He died at the age of just 38 but the contribution he made to cinema has been unforgettable. No wonder that 60 years after his passing, he continues to be talked about and remembered. Some believe that he committed suicide while some don’t believe this theory at all. Devi Dutt, brother of Guru Dutt, spoke at length with Filmfare 9 years ago about why he was sure that his brother didn’t end his own life. In the April 2016 issue, a detailed interview of Devi Dutt was published in which he talked about Guru Dutt’s beginnings, his relationship with Geeta Dutt and a lot more. At one point, he explained what happened on October 9, 1964, a day before Guru Dutt was found dead. Devi Dutt said, “After Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (1962), Guru Dutt and Bhabhi (Geeta Dutt) had patched up.

Pritam Chakraborty files police complaint after Rs 40 lakh stolen from his Mumbai office

Music director Pritam Chakraborty has reportedly fallen victim to a major theft, with around Rs 40 lakh in cash allegedly stolen from his Mumbai office. The incident was discovered recently, leading Pritam to file a police complaint. An FIR has been registered, and authorities have launched an investigation into the matter.

Pritam Chakraborty’s manager has filed a complaint at Malad police station after a staff member allegedly stole ₹40 lakh from the composer’s office. The suspect, identified as 32-year-old Ashish Sayal, is currently on the run. Police have formed teams to track him down.

The theft reportedly took place around 2 PM on February 4 at Pritam Chakraborty’s Goregaon-based music studio, Unimus Record Pvt. Ltd. A production house representative had delivered a bag containing ₹40 lakh in cash to Pritam’s manager, Vineet Chedda. At the time, staff members Ashish Sayal, Ahmed Khan, and Kamal Disha were present. Authorities are investigating the case and questioning those involved.

An officer said, “The manager, who took the cash, kept it in a trolley bag in the office and subsequently went to Chakraborty’s house, which is in the same building, to get his signature on some documents.”

Upon returning, Chedda found that the trolley bag containing the cash had vanished. When questioned, other staff members claimed that Ashish Sayal had taken the bag, stating he was transporting it to Pritam’s residence.

Police revealed that Chedda attempted to contact Ashish Sayal, but his calls went unanswered. His suspicions grew when Sayal switched off his phone entirely. Realizing something was amiss, Chedda promptly informed Pritam Chakraborty, who instructed him to file a complaint with the authorities immediately.

“On the music composer’s advice, he approached the police station and lodged a complaint. A case of theft has been registered, and we are trying to trace the suspect. We are reaching out to his relatives and also working on leads through his mobile phone’s call data record,” an officer said.

Authorities are continuing their investigation, but the stolen money has not yet been recovered. Pritam’s spokesperson confirmed to ETimes that the police are handling the matter but declined to comment further.

Pritam, known for composing hit soundtracks for Barfi!, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, and Brahmāstra, has yet to make a public statement on the theft.
