Man Who Died Of Gunshot Wounds Had Injured Himself By Mistake: UP Police

The police said during the probe into the man's allegations, his son Panka told police that his father, while being wheeled into the operation theatre of a nursing home, had confessed that he had implicated two people out of enmity.

A 52-year-old man who died last week had accidentally shot himself but before his death, wrongly accused two people of firing at him, police said on Thursday. Dibai village resident Lekhraj, a fake doctor, had injured himself accidently while handling his country-made pistol after receiving it from his friend Chandrasen whom he had given it for the safe-keeping, Bulandshahr's Senior Superintendent of Police Santosh Kumar Singh said. The SSP said during the probe into Lekhraj's allegations, his son Pankaj told police that his father, while being wheeled into the operation theatre of a private nursing home in Aligarh for the treatment, had confessed to him that he had implicated Salim and Sajid out of enmity. SSP Singh said earlier on receiving the complaint from Lekhraj's son, the police questioned the two named accused but they did not appear to be the kind of people able to shoot at and injure a man.
