The scene was photographed and the body taken to Ram Hospital Mortuary for preservation and postmortem. The firearm and ammunition were collected as exhibits and sent to ballistic experts for analysis on 23rd June, 2015. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the scene was revisited on 19th June, 2015 and it was discovered that one of the bullets fired had exited out of the room via the roofing iron sheet - leaving a mark on the iron sheet – while the other bullet, after hitting the deceased’s chest passed through the body, pierced the armory steel box and ricocheted and hit the wall.
