Delhi Police Special Cell Inspector Mohan Chand Sharma, died of ‘heart-attack’ as a result of excessive bleeding after being shot ‘twice’ during the Jamia Nagar encounter with suspected Indian Mujahideen terrorists on Friday, hospital sources said on Monday.

"Analysis of reports given by Holy Family Hospital and our initial findings points out that the officer died of heart attack arising out of excessive blood loss," a senior doctor said.

The sources said no bullets were found in the body, clearly indicating that "the shots were fired from a very close range."

According to doctors, there was an initial X-ray done on Sharma soon after he was brought to the Holy Family hospital which did not reveal any bullets lodged in the body.

"During our post-moterm too, we have not found any bullets," they said.

Doctors say that since Sharma who was part of ‘Dirty Harry Squad’ of the Special Cell had four gun-shot injuries on his body, ‘in all probability, he was hit by just two bullets which pierced through the body’.

As per the medical bulletin of the Holy Family hospital, the officer had received injuries on his left shoulder, left upper arm, left upper abdomen and right hip.

When asked to specify from which part of the body did the bullet enter and exit, a senior doctor said, "Study of the passage of bullets show that one could have entered from the left shoulder and exited from the left upper arm and the other from the abdomen and then the hips.
