TV actress Surbhi Tiwari who was present in the hospital for her brother’s treatment told Navbharat times that she saw Shahnawaz being taken inside on a stretcher. He was placed right next to her brother. Surbhi recalled overhearing the doctors that they were unable to find any pulse in Shahnawaz and that his heart was not responding to any external treatment.
