Some Kannada websites have claimed the culprit is a history-sheeter, although the police have not confirmed it.

His father Jaggesh, in a press release, called it an unfortunate incident and denied any enmity angle. "If they had stabbed his even a little upwards, things would have taken a different turn by now. Thank God, he is safe and is recovering well," he said.
