The househelp told the police that the actor had cough, cold and was throwing up. He had partied on Sunday.
On Monday, Rajput woke up at 11am and had a paratha for breakfast. He continued to throw up and asked the househelp to cook Khichdi for him. Between 2pm and 2.30pm, Rajput went into the bathroom. His househelp heard a loud crash and rushed to check on him. Rajput had fallen and hurt himself. Some tiles in the bathroom had also broken.
"The househelp rushed downstairs and sought help from us," said a security guard. The guards went upstairs and lifted Rajput, who had passed out, onto the bed. They fetched a doctor from a hospital located outside the society. The doctors advised that Rajput be moved to a public hospital. The police were informed, besides a female friend. Rajput was moved to the Trauma Care Hospital at Jogeshwari where he was pronounced dead.

He was very young and I can't believe he is gone," said Babbar. Another friend of Rajput said he was an avid photographer and had set up a studio inside his apartment. He had also started his own label of branded clothes. Rajput had started his career at the age of 17 and was living in Mumbai for over a decade.
