On the afternoon of Oct. 29, Jagadish had left home on his electric scooter (KA-05-LV-7589) to attend a parent-teacher meeting at Nirmala Convent, where his daughter was studying.

While he was proceeding along Gokulam Main Road, a Mahindra Thar SUV (KA-10-M-6663), reportedly driven by Chinmay, allegedly came from a cross road at high speed and rammed into his scooter. The SUV also hit a car (KA-09-MK-7422).

The body was shifted to the Mysore Medical College and Research Institute (MMC&RI)  mortuary for post-mortem examination and later handed over to his family members.
