Actor Rohit Basfore, who is known for his role in the third season of Amazon Prime series Family Man, was found dead near a waterfall in Assam’s Garbhanga forest on Sunday evening, as per reports. Guwahati Plus reported that authorities from Rani Police Outpost declared the time of the incident around 2 pm.
The actor had returned to Guwahati from Mumbai a few months ago and was enjoying his time at home. His family claimed to Odisha Bytes that on Sunday, he left home for a picnic with nine of his friends in the afternoon at around 12.30 pm. They got concerned after they lost contact with him in the evening. One of his friends informed his family a few hours later.
Rohit was taken to a hospital and declared dead on arrival.
A police official said to GPlus, “We received the report around 4 PM and reached the spot by 4.30 pm. The SDRF team later recovered the body around 6.30 pm.”
Rohit’s family has reported this to be a murder as he had been involved in a fight over parking recently. His family named Ranjit Basfore, Ashok Basfore, and Dharam Basfore, who had allegedly threatened to kill him during the dispute. They also named Amardeep, a gym owner, who was the one to have invited him for the outing.
While a murder investigation is underway, the local police have confirmed that Basfore’s body was found with several injury marks. “An autopsy was performed at Guwahati Medical College Hospital on Monday. Multiple injuries were discovered on the body, including wounds on his head, face, and other parts. We are investigating the case, but the four accused are on the run,” an official said.
