After this, he died on the morning of 22 May. After this, on 22nd May itself, the body was sent by Narayan Medical College and Hospital Jamuhar Police Chowki to Sadar Hospital Sasaram with a request letter for postmortem. Where the postmortem was done in Sadar Hospital on 22nd May itself.

At the same time, the son of the deceased had duly received the body of his father from the postmortem house with a written receipt. But, when it came to issuing the postmortem report, the postmortem report of the deceased was prepared a day earlier i.e. on 21st May 2025. Whereas Satyanarayan was alive on 21st. Since then, the Health Department is once again in the dock.
