The CBI also found that the pistol, recovered from Ranbir's possession was not fired.

Ranbir's body bore 12 bullet marks and 27 other injures, suggesting that he might have been tortured before his death.

According to a post-mortem report, the 12 bullet marks revealed that Ranbir was fired at close range.

Ranbir was riding a motorcycle with his two friends when the police stopped him at a check post.

Police alleged that the three men got into an altercation with a sub-inspector who had asked them to stop and then fled into a nearby forest after snatching his service revolver.

In the ensuing encounter, Ranbir was gunned down while the other two managed to escape.
