SSP (Lucknow) Kalanidhi Naithani said initially there was confusion whether Tiwari was shot or not, but the post-mortem report confirmed that he was shot once in the face and the bullet was found stuck below his chin. The bullet wound on the body was not clear initially due to multiple injuries in his face and neck, he said.

The injuries suggested that the assailants murdered Tiwari by shooting and attacking him multiple times with a knife and a sharp object, he added.

The probe suggested that the assailants first fired at Tiwari and then attacked him with a knife and sharp object when the bullet got stuck in the pistol. The pistol had already been recovered from Tiwari’s room on the first floor of his office-cum-residence in Khursheed Bagh locality where he was killed on Friday afternoon.

Naithani said the throat injury caused by knife killed Tiwari.
