Manoj Bajpayee REACTS to the death of his Family Man co-star Rohit Basfore, Pens THIS note

The entertainment industry was struck by tragedy on Sunday evening when actor Rohit Basfore, known for his role in the popular series 'The Family Man 3,' was found dead near a waterfall in Assam's Garbhanga forest.

According to Odisha Bytes, Rohit, originally from Assam, had returned to his hometown a few months ago. On Sunday afternoon, he went out with friends, leaving home around 12:30 PM and informing his family about a short outing. Tragically, hours later, a friend alerted the family to an accident. Despite being rushed to the hospital, Rohit was declared dead. Local news portals reported on the incident.

Manoj Bajpayee, Rohit's co-star in The Family Man, has expressed his condolences and acknowledged Rohit's significant contribution to the season.

May God bless your soul with peace Rohit Basfore!! Gone too soon! Our condolences to the family!! ? ?????

Following Rohit's death, his family reported the incident to the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), who recovered his body and sent it for examination. Police confirmed multiple injuries on Rohit's body. An autopsy at Guwahati Medical College Hospital revealed wounds on the head, face, and other parts.

The family has alleged murder, citing a recent parking dispute where three individuals - Ranjit Basfore, Ashok Basfore, and Dharam Basfore - allegedly threatened Rohit's life. They also implicated Amardeep, a gym owner who reportedly invited Rohit to the outing.

The family's allegations have led to a murder investigation, with police focusing on the individuals involved in the parking dispute and Amardeep's potential role in the events leading to Rohit's death.

While police investigate further, the presence of multiple injury marks on Rohit's body raises serious concerns. “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.

Rohit had been giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at the making of The Family Man through his Instagram posts since last year. In a November update, he shared photos with co-stars Jaideep Ahlawat and Dalip Tahil, writing, "Lucky to have such a great experience."

Meanwhile, FilmiBeat reports that "The Family Man" Season 3 is expected to premiere after the conclusion of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2025. The IPL season is scheduled to begin on March 22 and end on May 25, 2025. Given the show's past release patterns, it's likely the creators will factor this timeline into their plans. Speculation also suggests a potential Diwali 2025 release for "The Family Man" Season 3.
