Dr T S Sidhu, Medical Superintendent of Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital where Tomar was brought for treatment, said, “he came in a state of total collapse and our doctors revived him and as he was not stable, we shifted him to the Intensive Care Unit. He was on ventilator.”



The doctor said there was no “major external injury marks except for some cuts and bruises”.

Asked whether it was a case of cardiac arrest, the doctor said, “I don't know. That is not my comment. He came, he was in serious shock and we revived him. In all our records, there are no severe internal injuries recorded but the post-mortem will tell everything.”

A journalism student Yogendra, who claimed to be an eye-witness, contradicted police version that Constable Tomar was beaten up by protesters leading to his death, saying he fell down on his own.

Delhi Police spokesperson Rajan Bhagat said doctors who have conducted the post-mortem told them that he had suffered internal injuries.

“Doctors who conducted the post mortem of Tomar had told us that there were injuries in stomach, chest and neck and post-mortem report will only tell the cause of death.
