His sister has registered a complaint at Ullal police station stating that he was murdered.

Nithesh in the hospital when asked his name for registration had said that his name was Dinesh and Avinash. Therefore 108 staff had admitted him with those names. Nita, sister of Nithesh, who got the information, came to the hospital. When Nita and her husband Lohith tried to make Nithesh speak, he had whispered the names of Avinash, Dinesh and Umesh.

The three apparently had assaulted Nithesh. He had fallen near the railway tracks to escape from his assaulters.
