Zone 9 In-charge DCP Krishnakant Upadhyay said, “In the primary investigation we found that he fell in the washroom and died. We have registered an ADR and are investigating.”

Rajput was widely known for his appearance in Splitsvilla 9. He hailed from Delhi and began his career in films such as ‘Krantiveer’ and ‘Maine Gandhi Ko Nahi Mara’.

Actress Lokesh Sharma, a contestant on Bigg Boss 2006 who worked in the film ‘Bekaaboo’,  said, “Rajput was a loving and helpful gentleman. Everyone working in the film industry should take care of their health. The industry is in shock after the news.”

A close friend of Rajput said, "He was a good friend. He was involved in several television shows. If the OTT boom had happened earlier, he would have been part of it. In his spare time, he tried various things like photo shoots for others. In fact, I had recently wanted to discuss some work with him. Aditya had always been full of life and knew how to strategise his work. This is heartbreaking.”

Regarding suspicions of a drug overdose, the friend added, “In all the years I have known him, he never indulged in drugs."
