The claim
Ram Gopal Mishra was given brutal torture before being killed; a postmortem report confirms his painful death
PeakMetrics research summary
Based on related reporting. This does not summarize the original publisher’s reasoning.
Research from related reporting says the court judgment described Mishra’s body as riddled with bullets and noted that his nails came off, but did not accept claims of electric shocks, sword attacks, or deliberate removal of his toenails. The reporting says police had refuted those exaggerated torture claims and stated that bullet wounds caused his death.[S1]
Additional context
In December 2025, a Bahraich court sentenced Sarfaraz to death for shooting Mishra and sentenced nine other people to life imprisonment. [S1]
