Police are still trying to figure out where he was during the day. What they do know is that he became ill while at the farmhouse in Bijwasan. He was taken to the nearby Fortis Hospital in Gurugram, but he died there.
Santosh Rai, Mr. Kaushik’s manager, was among those who rushed him to the hospital. He told the Indian news agency ANI, “He went to bed at 10.30 p.m. He called me at 12:10 a.m., complaining of shortness of breath.”
Because the patient had traveled from Delhi, the hospital notified the Delhi Police. The body was then taken to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital for an autopsy. This morning, a postmortem was performed, and the body was returned to Mr. Kaushik’s family.
Police are in touch with Mr. Kaushik’s companions, who took him to the hospital for further investigation.
The actor-director’s death hours after he celebrated Holi with his friends and colleagues has shocked the Indian film industry, and tributes have been pouring in.
