Despite his injuries, Mohammed somehow managed to return to his home in Ramanagara. Later that night, he reportedly developed breathing difficulties, prompting his family to rush him to a nearby hospital.

However, doctors were unable to save him. A medical examination reportedly confirmed that he died due to injuries sustained in the assault. Following the incident, Mohammed’s family lodged a complaint at the Byatarayanapura police station.

Police are continuing their investigation into the case.
