In his tweet, Mr. Shetty said, “We have lost our young Karyakarta. Least we can do is to support his family. Donating my 1 month salary and allowances to the family of Harsha. Will stand by his family in this hour of grief.” Mr. Shetty told The Hindu the amount will come to ₹2 lakh.
Similarly, Mr. Kamath, in his tweet, said he is donating ₹2 lakh and extending his support to the grieving family.
Mr. Bhat, in his tweet announcing his donation, said the loss of Harsha cannot be equated with money. This token amount of ₹1 lakh will inspire many more to join hands of grieving family.
