What happened to Rohit Basfore?
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.
Was Rohit Basfore really murdered?
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.

Bangladeshi model's arrest: probe widens to include Shanta Paul's finances, friend under scanner
The Detective Department of the Kolkata police, which is investigating Bangladeshi model and actress Shanta Paul, 28, who was arrested for allegedly possessing Indian voter ID and Aadhaar cards, has widened its probe after noting inconsistencies in her statements. The officers are probing how Paul, who was arrested earlier this week, got the ID cards, besides investigating her friend and Bangladeshi national, Suman Chandrashil, whose name had come up during questioning. They are also probing whether she was passing information to some other country in return for money as she appeared to live a lavish lifestyle, travelling to places including Nathu La Pass near the India-China border, Digha, and Gangtok, where she shot reels. A native of Barisal in Bangladesh, Paul had been living at a rented apartment in Bijoygarh, Jadavpur, since 2023, the police said. Officers with the Detective Department said it was not clear why a successful Bangladeshi model and actress was using fake documents to stay in India. Paul, who is in police custody till August 8, was found to have two Aadhaar cards. Senior police officials said the first Aadhaar card was registered in her name in 2020 with an address in Burdwan. The other one shows a Kolkata address. She could not give satisfactory answers about how she procured the documents. According to a senior police officer, 'A search is on to locate Suman Chandrashil. It is a matter of concern how Bangladeshi nationals are so easily able to obtain Indian identity documents.' Police sources said that during the search at Paul's residence, officers found her friend's Aadhaar card details and an address in Behala's Anandagarh, on the outskirts of South Kolkata. According to a senior officer, 'Chandrashil is married to a Behala-based woman and it is from that address that the Aadhaar card was obtained.' However, officers said that people in the locality claimed that he had not been seen there for months. The police also reportedly found several bank documents and Paul stated during her interrogation that she was planning to open a hotel for which she intended to take a bank loan. Investigators are probing who was going to finance the project and if any partnership was involved. They will also examine the documents that Paul had submitted to the bank for the loan. Paul, who has reportedly won several modelling contests in Bangladesh, said she was working in a Telugu film and is in talks for another movie with a Tollywood star.

Sagarika Chakraborty, who inspired Rani Mukerji's Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway, reacts to actress' National Award win: ‘Not just a personal triumph for her, it's a moment of validation for eve
Sagarika Chakraborty, the Indian mother who inspired this hard-hitting movie, shared her thoughts on Rani's win in an exclusive interview with Firstpost and said 'This recognition is not just a personal triumph for her—it is a moment of validation for every mother who has ever fought against unimaginable odds for her children'. read more Yesterday, (1st August), the 71st National Awards were announced and Rani Mukerji bagged the Best Actress win for her impactful portrayal in Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway. Now, Sagarika Chakraborty, the Indian mother who inspired this hard-hitting movie, shared her thoughts on Rani's win in an exclusive interview with Firstpost and said 'This recognition is not just a personal triumph for her—it is a moment of validation for every mother who has ever fought against unimaginable odds for her children.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'As the real-life inspiration behind _Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway_ and the author of The Journey of a Mother, I am overwhelmed with emotion to see Rani Mukerji honored with the National Award for her performance in the film. This recognition is not just a personal triumph for her—it is a moment of validation for every mother who has ever fought against unimaginable odds for her children,' said Chakraborty. Talking about her book and praising Rani Mukerji's layered and extraordinary portrayal, she added, 'My book chronicles the raw, often painful truth of what I endured. The circumstances I was forced to navigate were far more complex and heartbreaking than what could be portrayed in a two-hour film. Yet within that limitation, Rani Mukerji nailed it. Her portrayal was deeply moving, layered, and extraordinarily powerful. She brought not just authenticity but soul to my story—her performance was nothing short of outstanding.' Sharing that reality was more painful compared to shown in the film, Chakraborty shared, 'Of course, cinema has its own constraints. It's impossible to encapsulate every detail and emotional turn of events in just over two hours. That's why I've carefully documented the many twists, legal battles, and emotional breakdowns in my book. The reality was even more painful and demanding than what the audience witnessed on screen. Every page of The Journey of a Mother is a testament to the strength and endurance a mother must summon when her children are at stake.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Sagarika also shared that she has already started work on the second part of her book, which will lead to a possible sequel. 'Given the overwhelming response and the global relevance of this issue, I have already begun working on the second part of my book. There is so much more yet to be said—more layers to this journey that the world needs to understand. Once the writing is complete, I plan to engage in discussions with the director and producers about a potential sequel. There are still many truths to be told,' the author said. 'Above all, I am immensely happy and proud that Rani Mukerji's incredible performance has received the recognition it truly deserves. I believe stories like mine must reach people—not only to raise awareness, but to inspire courage, hope, and change in society. If this film and my book can empower even one struggling parent, then all the pain was not in vain,' she concluded. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
