Rohit Basfore, an actor set to appear in the much-anticipated third season of The Family Man, was tragically found dead near a waterfall in Assam on Sunday, April 27. The 28-year-old had reportedly gone out for a day with friends but never returned home. His death has since taken a dark turn, with his family alleging it was not an accident, but a calculated murder.
Basfore, who had recently returned to Guwahati from Mumbai, left home around 12:30 p.m. on Sunday for a casual outing. According to his relatives, he was in good spirits and was invited by a local gym owner named Amardeep, who is now among those named in the family¡¯s murder complaint.
When the actor failed to return or respond to calls by the evening, his family became concerned. A few hours later, a friend informed them of an accident. Basfore was reportedly rushed to the hospital but was declared dead on arrival.
The circumstances surrounding his death, however, have raised serious questions. The family claims that Rohit was recently involved in a parking dispute that escalated into threats. They have specifically named three individuals, Ranjit Basfore, Ashok Basfore, and Dharam Basfore, who allegedly issued death threats during the altercation. Amardeep, the gym owner who extended the invitation for the Sunday outing, is also under suspicion.
On Monday, an autopsy was conducted at Guwahati Medical College Hospital. A source close to the investigation confirmed that multiple injuries were observed on Rohit's head, face, and other parts of his body. These findings have further fuelled the family¡¯s belief that foul play was involved.
An official familiar with the case stated that the matter is being investigated thoroughly, and efforts are ongoing to locate the four accused individuals, who are currently on the run.
Rohit Basfore was a rising talent in Indian entertainment. His role in the upcoming season of The Family Man, which also stars Manoj Bajpayee and will introduce Jaideep Ahlawat to the franchise, was expected to be a stepping stone in his career.
As the investigation continues, the actor¡¯s family and supporters are calling for a fair probe into what they believe is a preventable and tragic loss.
