'Family Man' actor Rohit Basfore found dead in Guwahati; family alleges murder
Rohit Basfore
, best known for his role in the hit web series 'Family Man' Season 3, was reportedly found dead after a day out with friends in the Garbhanga forest in Assam on Sunday evening.
According to a report by Odisha Bytes, Rohit, originally from Assam, had returned to his hometown a few months ago. Reports on various local news portals state that the actor had gone out with a group of friends on Sunday afternoon. He reportedly left home around 12:30 PM and reportedly informed his family about the short outing.
However, concern grew when his family lost contact with him later in the day. Reports then state that a friend informed the family of an accident. Although Basfore was rushed to a hospital, he was declared dead on arrival.
His sudden death has prompted the family to contact the SDRF, who later recovered the body and sent it for examination. The police have confirmed that multiple injuries were found on Rohit's body. An autopsy conducted at
Guwahati Medical College Hospital
noted that several injuries were noted on his body, including wounds on the head, face, and other parts.
Reports state that the family has alleged foul play. They claim the actor was recently involved in a parking dispute during which three individuals — Ranjit Basfore, Ashok Basfore, and Dharam Basfore — had allegedly threatened his life.
The family has also named Amardeep, a gym owner who reportedly invited Rohit to the day trip, as a person of interest.
Authorities added that the four accused individuals are currently absconding, and an investigation is underway.

Meghalaya Honeymoon Murder: Did Sonam plot Raja's murder just 4 days after wedding? New details emerge
What began as a baffling case of missing honeymooners in the picturesque hills of Meghalaya has culminated in a chilling tale of alleged betrayal and murder. Initially, authorities believed Raja Raghuvanshi and his new bride, Sonam, might have simply lost their way during a trek. However, the discovery of Raja's body on June 2 in a gorge, accompanied by a 'dao' (machete) and a phone, alongside a blood-stained raincoat kilometers away, quickly shifted the focus to a suspected robbery. The missing gold ring and chain from his body solidified this theory. Yet, as investigators delved deeper, the narrative took a sinister turn. A Special Investigation Team (SIT), comprising SDRF, NDRF, and central and state intelligence units, was formed to crack the case, which had garnered nationwide attention. Both families had even called for a CBI probe. The police on Monday arrested Sonam from a dhaba in UP, along with four other suspects, including her alleged lover, Raj Kushwaha. 'I didn't kill my husband': Sonam Raghuvanshi Despite the arrests, new details continued to emerge. Sonam initially told Ghazipur police that miscreants had robbed and killed Raja near the falls but remained tight-lipped about her whereabouts or escape. "I didn't kill my husband. They killed him for the jewellery," Sonam stated, referring to the four arrested men: Akash Rajput, 21, from Lalitpur (UP), Vishal Singh Chauhan, 22, and Kushwaha, 21, both from Indore, and Anand Kurmi, 23, from Satna in MP. Live Events Indore additional DCP Rajesh Dandotiya confirmed, "Akash, Vishal and Raj were produced in court and sent on seven-day transit remand. Anand is being brought to Indore & will be presented in court Tuesday." Raj, suspected to be the prime co-conspirator, reportedly lived near Sonam's home previously and worked as an accountant in her family business, a role he continued even after moving away a year ago. Police allege Sonam's family opposed her relationship with Raj, leading to her arranged marriage with Raja through a Kushwaha community network. Did Sonam plot Raja's murder at her home? Investigators said that merely four days after her wedding, when Sonam returned to her parental home for a post-marriage ritual, she allegedly plotted her husband's murder with Raj. The alleged motive was to eliminate Raja swiftly so she could reunite with Raj. East Khasi Hills SP Vivek Syiem alleged that Sonam was consistently sending her location to Raj throughout the trip. Investigators suspect the killers shadowed the couple after their visit to Kamakhya temple in Guwahati. Police allege that while Raj remained in Indore, Akash, Vishal, and Anand traveled by train to Assam. "The murder weapon was purchased in Guwahati," an officer in Indore revealed. Sonam reportedly insisted on extending their stay in Shillong, a move now viewed by investigators as part of a premeditated plan. Tourist guide Albert Pde's testimony proved crucial. He informed investigators that he saw the couple with three Hindi-speaking men on May 23 as they ascended 3,000 steps from Nongriat to Mawlakhiat, a detail that strongly suggested outsiders were shadowing the honeymooners. "All the dots connected to indicate that there was prior planning," SP Syiem stated. He added, "We will confirm everything once the accused are interrogated together." Sonam's parents, however, have dismissed the allegations, with her father, Devi Singh, claiming his daughter is being "framed" by the police.

Meghalaya Honeymoon Murder: Chilling Timeline Of Raja Raghuvanshis Killing Revealed
The vanishing of an Indore newlywed couple on their honeymoon in Meghalaya has turned into a murder case of sensational dimensions, with police claiming that Sonam Raghuvanshi had planned the murder of her husband, Raja Raghuvanshi, in league with her paramour and contract killers. Five arrests have resulted from a multi-state probe in a crime so professionally organised. Honeymoon Turns Deadly Raja, 26, and Sonam, 24, tied the knot in an arranged wedding in Indore on May 11, 2025. They had planned to tour Kashmir but changed their honeymoon plans to Meghalaya and checked into a hotel in Shillong on May 22 after visiting Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati. Sonam spoke to her mother-in-law on May 23, mentioning a fast and travel plans, before her phone went out of reach, as did Raja's. On the same day, a village head reported a rented scooter abandoned near a dhaba in Sohra, raising alarm. Grim Discovery And Investigation On May 24, Vipin, Raja's brother, reported the couple missing in Shillong. Search parties, including the NDRF and SDRF, combed the East Khasi Hills under heavy rain. On May 27, the scooter of the couple was discovered near a cafe on the Shillong-Sohra road with two bags in a nearby gorge. On June 2, Raja's decomposed body was found inside a 100-foot-deep gorge in the vicinity of Weisawdong waterfall, which was identified by a "Raja" tattoo and smartwatch. A machete stained with blood, a woman's blouse, a strip of medicine, and a smashed phone screen were also discovered. Post-mortem examination found two significant head injuries inflicted with a sharp object, probably the machete, as the police called it, a device for cutting down trees. East Khasi Hills SP Vivek Syiem reiterated that the injuries indicated a premeditated attack. Arrests And Alleged Conspiracy Meghalaya Police accused Sonam of having conspired with her boyfriend Raj Kushwaha, who had employed three contract killers—Akash Rajput, Vishal Singh Chauhan, and Anand Patel—to kill Raja. Call records and CCTV footage uncovered Rajput, who was arrested in Lalitpur in Uttar Pradesh, while Kushwaha and Chauhan were arrested in Indore, and Patel in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh. On June 9, Sonam surrendered at a dhaba in Ghazipur, led by her brother, after going into hiding. Police alleged that Sonam brought Raja to an isolated road on May 23, where he was attacked by the killers. The four accused then left for Guwahati, lived for one day, and dispersed to avoid detection. The testimony of a local guide that reported seeing three Hindi-speaking men with the couple corroborates the police theory of a premeditated conspiracy. Sonam's Defense Sonam's father, Devi Singh, refuted the murder-for-hire charge, stating his daughter was kidnapped and robbed and awoke in Ghazipur with no recollection of the incident. He has called for a CBI inquiry, alleging Meghalaya Police framed her. But police point to technical evidence, such as repeated calls between Sonam and Kushwaha, as evidence of her complicity. Next Steps All the five accused—Sonam, Kushwaha, Rajput, Chauhan, and Patel—are being taken to Shillong for crime scene recreation and further interrogation. Meghalaya Police will arraign them after court procedures. Chief Minister Conrad Sangma praised the prompt action of the police, highlighting the state's dedication to the safety of tourists even in the face of the high-profile case. The inquiry is ongoing, with one suspect missing, as the country comes to terms with the tragic deceit behind the honeymoon murder of Raja Raghuvanshi.
