  A star of mass greater than a critical mass is believed to undergo
gravitational collapse to form a singularity, owing to Hawking-Penrose
singularity theorem which is based on the Raychaudhuri equation in the absence
of torsion. We argue that the spin-aspect of matter can lead to the evasion of
singularity, caused by its mass-aspect, via torsion in asymptotically safe
gravity.
