However, police investigation has found no evidence of any firing. As per findings based on FSL, ballistic, medical reports, and CCTV footage, the incident was allegedly fabricated. CCTV footage showed a live bullet falling from his pocket when he got down from the car. Investigators said the hole in the car’s front glass was not caused by a gunshot, as no gunpowder residue was found, and it appeared to have been made using a sharp tool. No bullet was recovered from inside the vehicle. No trace of fired bullet anywhere.

Police also noted that Bambhaniya initially refused to hand over his clothes for forensic examination, and medical reports indicated that the injury mark was not consistent with a gunshot wound. Bambhaniya is booked under Arms Act, and sections 212, 217, 214. He was booked earlier in 2007 and 2018 by Una police for attempt of murder, assault and loot etc offences.
