Kolkata: A hotel caretaker in West Bengal's Midnapore town, allegedly pushed off from the fifth floor of the hotel on Saturday, by reality show producers and contestants of a TV reality show, died on Tuesday, police said.
"23-year-old Prasun Adhikari suffered serious head injuries and was admitted to the SSKM Hospital in Kolkata on Saturday. He died early on Tuesday there," West Midnapore district Police Superintendent R K Singh said.
He added that the body was sent for post-mortem.
"We have brought murder charges under Section 302 (of the Indian Penal Code) against show producers Gautam Jain and Rajiv Mehra and contestant Somnath Roy Chowdhury," Singh stated.
Gautam Jain, Rajiv Mehra, and Roy Chowdhury have been in a five-day police remand since Saturday.
Adhikari was allegedly beaten up and then pushed from the fifth floor of the hotel by the trio and another contestant Romi Nag Chowdhury on Saturday after he protested to their night-long alcohol consumption.
Nag Chowdhury, however, fled the hotel immediately after the incident.
The team of Fatafati, a reality show aired on ETV Bangla, had gone to Midnapore town, about 165 km from here, to shoot for a special episode on Friday.
