Mohan was found murdered in his home in late February 2017 and his case appears to remain unsolved. While very little information about Mohan and his murder is publicly available, there are no known motives aside from his activism and knowledge about the attack on his colleague.

Mohan was 48 years of age . He was married with two children.
