Bihar: Post-mortem report says Dular Chand Yadav died due to cardiorespiratory failure

According to the postmortem report of gangster-turned-politician Dular Chand Yadav, he died of cardiorespiratory failure due to shock caused by injuries to the heart and lungs.

Yadav died on Thursday while campaigning for Jan Suraj Party candidate Piyush Priyadarshi in Patna’s Mokama area. The incident took place near Bhadaur and Ghoswari police stations.

“The cause of death of Yadav is cardiorespiratory failure due to shock caused by injury to the heart and lungs by a hard and blunt object,” said the report submitted to the Patna police.

The report also mentioned that Yadav was shot near the ankle joint, but the bullet wound was not the cause of his death.

The police, which filed three FIRs and arrested two people in connection with the incident, will now investigate how he got injured and who was involved in the incident, an official said.

Meanwhile, station house officers (SHOs) of Bhadaur and Ghoswari police stations were suspended for ‘dereliction of duty’.

JDU candidate from Mokama and local powerful leader Anant Singh has been named as accused along with four others in an FIR lodged based on the complaint of the deceased’s grandson.

Another FIR was registered against six people based on a complaint by Prashat Kishore-led Jan Suraj, while a third case was registered by the police on the basis of their own investigation.
