I'm using scoped storage and MediaStore content provider like the in the documents.

The problem is that the underlying files are not being deleted. (I have yet to see a question specifically on this topic, but many comments are showing this is not unique to me.)

It actually gets worse because when I open the Google Photos app the underlying file is gone only for a split second and gets restored. A new entry for that underlying file is also made in the database.

I confirmed this by using the content provider queries with the old _id values and getting empty results. Also, a new entry for the same image is created with a new _id field. In the File app, the file is there.

Is this a bug or am I missing something? Should I need to delete the file using SAF?

This seems to be an old bug, and there doesn't seem to be a way around it.
