Then Sanjay and Vijay Shakya came and shot him to kill him. The bullet hit his leg and he got injured. Prima facie, the Padav police reached the spot thinking it to be a case of attempted murder and investigated.

When the police team gathered information about Sanjay and Vijay Shakya, they were not found to be in Gwalior.
When the police team questioned injured Monu’s friend Tasu who was seen in the CCTV footage, there was some difference in the statements of injured Monu and Tasu. When Tasu was questioned thoroughly by the police team, he told that on the day of the incident, he was sitting with Monu Rawat on Vivek Mishra’s motorcycle near Phoolbagh. At that time, Monu Rawat shot himself in the leg with an illegal country-made pistol that he had with him and told me to run away with this pistol and a live round, I will report the shooting against my opponents Vijay and Sanjay Shakya. Monu threw the empty cartridge in the sewer line gutter. As per his instructions, both of us fled from the spot with the motorcycle, then I hid the pistol in the bushes next to the boundary of the powerhouse on Kilagate Road and went away with the motorcycle with Vivek Mishra.
