It is said that Karthik was at home and he did not attend college as he was suffering from a stomach ache. In the evening, some of his friends had called him over the phone and so Karthik had left home at around 5.30 pm. At around 7 pm his mobile phone got switched off.

When the parents visited the spot they were shocked to see their son dead. The Kolar city police have registered a case.

The Central Range inspector general of police, B R Ravikanthe Gowda visited the spot. He said the boy may have been murdered due to old enmity.

A few months before the murder, the accused had harassed Karthik Singh and other students of the college and reportedly a case has been registered in the police station in this regard.
