At the petrol pump, he is seen staggering in, unable to properly park his bike, which he lets fall to the ground. Holding his neck, his shirt stained with blood, he reportedly shouted into his phone, "Goli maar ke bhaag gaye" (They shot me and ran away).

Petrol pump staff immediately contacted Jaiswal. Shanu was rushed to CHC Mallawan for first aid and subsequently referred to the Trauma Centre in Lucknow due to the critical nature of his injuries.
