The family of Nicholas Brandram has come forward to reject claims that he was the person known as the "Putney pusher". Relatives say the identification is incorrect and that Brandram had no connection to the case associated with that nickname.

The nickname "Putney pusher" has been used in British media coverage referring to a specific, publicly known incident in the Putney area of London. Brandram's family insists that linking his name to this case is false and has caused unwarranted harm to his memory.

Details about the circumstances of Nicholas Brandram's death, as well as how and why his name became associated with the nickname in question, remain limited at this stage. Family representatives have not provided further background information but have been clear in their wish to correct the record.

The case highlights how unverified information can spread quickly around sensitive matters of public interest, adding further distress for the families of those involved. No official confirmation or further statement from authorities or police has been reported at this time.
