The viscera report of Pradhan says glass pieces were found in his stomach, the Ghaziabad police chief Akhil Kumar said.

His autopsy report did not conclude the cause of death but viscera was preserved and was sent to a forensic lab. The report was submitted in August last year.
Dasna Jail Superintendent V.K. Singh said the copies of the report have been sent to the National Human Rights Commission and the Uttar Pradesh government.
