Police officials have informed that Akshat stayed with a female friend at a society near Andheri, RTO. His roommate informed that Akshat was quite normal on Sunday and they also had dinner before going to sleep.

According to a report by Hindustan Times, an officer from the Amboli Police station said, “At around 11.30 pm when she woke up to use the washroom, she found Akshat dead in his room, after which she immediately called the police. The officers had rushed him to a private hospital where he was declared dead and then his body was shifted to the Cooper Hospital for autopsy.”

The police have registered an Accidental Death Record (ADR). Preliminary inquiry and autopsy reports do not indicate any foul play.

Speaking to Hindustan, Akshat’s maternal uncle Ranjit Singh said that Akshat has been murdered. He said the Mumbai Police didn’t take the matter seriously and didn’t even lodge an FIR in the case. He also dismissed depression claims of the police.

Akshat’s body was taken to his native Muzaffarpur by his family on Tuesday for last rites.
