Why are there differing versions on the number of bullets fired. Some say a police bullet hit Manoj in the head while others say a police bullet hit his lower back. Still, others claim the bullet fired by Manoj ricocheted and hit him.
In the FIR, two bullets, one shot by the accused and one shot by police, have been mentioned. However, there were differing accounts and the final picture about the number of bullets fired and how many hit the accused will be clear only after the postmortem report is out.

Why were all the witnesses held back in the restaurant for several hours after the incident and their mobile phones taken away from them?
All the customers and restaurant staff were kept back as witnesses. We have videographed each of their statements and we will be producing them as witnesses according to their willingness and depending on the strength of their knowledge of the incident as they saw it.
Their mobile phones were taken away from them just after the incident for primarily two reasons. Firstly, that they could not contact anyone on the outside, which would create unnecessary alarm and panic. Secondly, the friends or family who they contacted might not have tutored them into silence or a version of the incident different from what they saw.
