He was rushed to the nearest hospital and was later referred to the MS Ramaiah Memorial Hospital in Bengaluru.

After necessary tests, doctors declared him brain-dead. The family was counselled for organ donation and subsequently, his organs were donated.

Rohith's heart, kidneys, liver and cornea were donated to recipients.
