Who Was Rohit Basfore? 'Family Man 3' Actor Found Dead Near Waterfall in Assam

Rohit Basfore, a young actor set to appear in Manoj Bajpayee’s most popular web series Family Man 3, was tragically found dead near a waterfall in Assam’s Garbhanga forest on Sunday evening, April 27. Police confirmed that the actor’s body bore multiple injuries, raising serious questions about the cause of death.

According to a report, Rohit had returned to Guwahati from Mumbai a few months ago. On the day of the incident, he reportedly left his home around 12:30 PM for a casual day trip with friends. However, his family lost contact with him later that evening. A friend later alerted them about a possible incident, prompting the family to contact the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), which helped retrieve Rohit's body and transported it to a local hospital.

Family members have alleged foul play, claiming that Rohit was murdered by four individuals Ranjit Basfore, Ashok Basfore, Dharam Basfore, and a local gym owner named Amardeep who they say had planned the attack. They also revealed that Rohit had been involved in a recent parking dispute with some of the accused, during which he was threatened with death.
