Bihar's politics is in turmoil over the death of the gangster-turned-politician Dular Chand Yadav in Patna's Mokama. In the latest development, the post-mortem report stated that Yadav didn't die of a gunshot but due to cardiorespiratory failure caused by shock due to injury to the heart and lungs.
On Thursday, Yadav was shot at while he was campaigning for Jan Suraaj Party's candidate Piyush Priyadarshi in the Mokama area.
The incident had taken place close to the Bhadaur and Ghoswari police stations.
Yadav was shot near the ankle joint after which he was taken to a hospital but died later. The autopsy report stated the bullet wound was not the cause of his death.
"The reason behind Yadav's death is cardiorespiratory failure due to shock caused by injury of the heart and lungs by a hard and blunt substance," said the report, submitted to the Patna Police.
So far, three FIRs have been registered in the case, and the police have nabbed two persons. The police will now investigate how he was injured and who was involved in the incident, an officer said.
Meanwhile, the Station House Officers (SHOs) of Bhadaur and Ghoswari police stations were suspended for 'dereliction of duty'.

Another FIR was lodged against six people based on a complaint filed by the Prashat Kishor-led Jan Suraaj, while the third case was registered by the police based on its own investigation.
