I do not know the actual reasons why police shot him dead," Nizamuddin's father Mohammad Husamuddin, a retired teacher, told media persons. Husamuddin claimed that inquiries with his friends in the US that it was Nizamuddin who had called the police for help when he was being attacked by roommates. "How come the Santa Clara Police claim his son as an attacker?" he asked.

"Nearly two weeks before he was shot dead by the Santa Clara police, he had written a blog on LinkedIn about how he was being harassed in a racist manner," Ahmed said. He added that Nizamuddin wrote about not getting his salary on time. "The company where he was working had removed him from job recently and also engaged a detective - Eric Thomas - to watch all his movements," he said.
