Lucknow: A preliminary forensic report of the Shahjahanpur-based journalist Jagendra Singh, who was allegedly killed, has pointed towards self-immolation angle, but the Uttar Pradesh police are awaiting the full report before coming to any conclusion.
"We have received a part of the forensic report. We are awaiting the second part of the report to come to any conclusion. The report as of now is inconclusive," Superintendent of Police Shahjahanpur Bablu Kumar said. Asked about the initial forensic report which suggests that the burn wounds were 'self-inflicted', the SP said, "It is there in the report but for any conclusion we are waiting for the rest of the report. We are likely to get the remaining part of the report soon to come to any conclusion," he said, adding that a probe in the matter was already underway under DIG, Bareilly range.
