BENGALURU: Following the suspicious death of Puttur youth Takshit at a lodge in Madiwala, the police have received the post-mortem report which reveals that Thakshit had kidney failure, liver issues and asthma, which are likely to have caused his death.

Takshit and a young woman were in love and dating each other and had planned to get married. They had been staying in different lodges in Bengaluru for 20 days, including an 8-day stay in the Madiwala lodge.
