Residents of Gulbarga Colony rushed him to NIMHANS by 9 pm, where he was declared dead.u00a0Manjunath's friends and family are clueless as to why anybody would want to harm him. Bodhiappa, Manjunath's uncle, said, I don't know why anyone would want to take his life. He was a good man and did a lot to help people.u00a0Meanwhile, members of Manjunath's family have filed a complaint at Tilak Nagar police station. Harsha P S, DCP (South East), said, We're awaiting the post-mortem report and cannot definitively comment until then. Since we've established that he had no real enemies, we are assuming that it is a case of murder due to a personal matter.
