More details about Rohit’s death

As per a report in Hindustan Times, the body was recovered at around 8.30 pm on Sunday. The police reportedly received a call at 4.06 pm, and they reached the spot immediately. The body was recovered with the help of divers later in the evening.

“This looks like a case of drowning, and we are waiting for the postmortem report,” a police official said.  

The body was taken to Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) where the doctors confirmed the death and sent it for postmortem, officials said. While the police have called it a case of drowning, family members of the actor have alleged foul play. Rohit was reportedly embroiled in a parking dispute a few days back and had received a death threat. 

Since last year, Rohit had been sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses from the sets of The Family Man on Instagram. In one post from November, he shared photos with co-stars Jaideep Ahlawat and Dalip Tahil, captioning it, "Lucky to have such a great experience”.
