Apparently, Akshat died by suicide and was depressed due to lack of work, as cited by the Amboli police officials. However, his family is of another opinion and has dismissed the depression narrative saying that he was murdered. Akshat’s body was taken to his native town Muzaffarpur today. The family has alleged negligence on the police’s part.
