What’s the truth?
When we did a keyword search, an article from Zee News quotes the Haryana Roadways employee saying that some of Rishab Pant’s money was scattered on the road which he picked up and put it back in Rishab Pant’s pocket.
Uttarakhand Police Department had released a video statement from Special Superintendent of Police (SSP) of Haridwar in which the SSP categorically denied any such allegations and he had pointed out that Rishab Pant’s belongings were handed over to his mother.
