Siddhartha left from Bengaluru in his SUV and on the way asked his driver to take him to Ullal bridge. He told him to go ahead and he would come walking to the vehicle, but he never returned.

After about thirty hours of searching, the body of Café Coffee Day founder, VG Siddhartha was found in Netravathi river. The search involved people from multiple agencies with ships, boats and divers. His body was found floating near Hoige bazaar in the backwater of Netravathi river around 6.30 AM.
