Naval Kishore Meghwal (52), father of Shobha lived in Banjara Colony. Kishorepura police station sub-inspector Mukesh Tyagi told TOI that his family saw Naval perspiring heavily. He was also in a semi-conscious state when they took him to the hospital, where he was declared brought dead said the sub-inspector. The cause of death would be clear after post-mortem report comes but prima facie he is most likely to have died of a silent heart attack in the state of shock, said the police officer. The protestors of the deceased's family later in the day agreed to take the body for last rites after they were assured of compensation as per norms, security for the family, rescue of the bride and arrest of the accused in the matter, said ASP, Kota city, Rajesh Mill.
