Earlier, the CM had also termed the lynch as “demise” on her twitter account and was trolled for her casual reference and undermining the lynching. Zafar Khan, had tried to stop civic workers from taking photographs a women defecating in the open with an intention of shaming them. When he tried to stop them the workers allegedly attacked him and beat him up, thereby seriously injuring him. He was taken to hospital, where he died while being treated. Fake twitter handles had come up, defending the CMs tweet, which were later identified and pulled down.
A case of lynching and murder was being investigated and IG Anand Srivastava had set up a panel of doctors to look into the matter and give their report. This panel gave its report saying that Khan had died of cardiac arrest. Srivastava, in his tweet said that there was no visual indication of injury on his body, which might have suggested death.
However, the cardiac arrest could have been caused by the beating up, is another matter which probably will let be in the court of law.
