Even after IPR was delivered, there was an attempt to leave, but that attempt was foiled after the news came out in the media.

The incident did not end there, police sources said that police inspector Mishra was pressured by district police chief Vajracharya and area police chief Nepal to give a report on the discovery of wild boars to save former DIG Shah. After police inspector Mishra took a stand and did not give a report containing the false details found while he was illegally poaching, senior deputy inspector of police Bishwanath Tripathi, police assistant inspector Krishna Rajwanshi and police constable Yugeshwar Khatwe were asked to give a joint report.  ;

The police team under their leadership mentioned that the boar was found loaded in the tractor. "A report was received that a local had killed a boar with a weapon because it had been damaged by wild animals, including a grain boar planted in his farm, and a load of dead boar was found in the tractor of police team Khatigai No. 1 to 69," said the joint report.

However, contrary to that report, DSP Mahendra Nepal, the area police chief, has sent a letter claiming that the police team deployed under his command has found a tractor and a dead boar. In the letter sent by the local police office Kanchanpur along with the tractor and the boar which were reported as abandoned in Sub-Division Forest Office Kanchanpur, DSP Mahendra Nepal has claimed that the police team under his command has found the tractor and the boar. However, DSP Nepal itself does not accept the letter signed and sent to Sub-Division Forest Office . "Well, the police team was not deployed under my command," DSP Nepal said, "How did that happen in the letter, I didn't know it?" A police source claims that after the commander of the deployed police team, Police Inspector Mishra, arrested 10 people, including the former DIG, he took a stand not to give a false report saying that he would not give a false report.

After reporting the boar to the sub division forest office that it was neglected, the dead boar was hurriedly buried without even conducting an autopsy. Whereas, according to the law, the post-mortem of the dead boar should have been done . Ranger Santosh Yadav of Sub Division Forest Office Kanchanpur admitted that the boar was buried without post-mortem. "Legally, an autopsy should be done, but it could not be done," he said.

It is not clear for what purpose the permission letter issued by District Administration Office Kathmandu was given. According to sources, he has been misusing the license of the rifle given to former DIG Shah for personal security purposes and has been using it for hunting purposes.
