A disturbing case has come to light from Telangana’s Nizamabad district, where a woman allegedly killed her husband by injecting toilet cleaner through a medical cannula while he was receiving treatment. The victim has been identified as 35-year-old Prasanth, who was working in a Gulf nation, according to news agency PTI.
The complaint
The matter surfaced after the deceased man's mother filed a police complaint, stating that she learned of her son's death on Tuesday, June 30. In her complaint, she said she had no knowledge of her son's visit home or the circumstances leading up to his death. Voicing suspicion about her daughter-in-law, Sandhya, she reportedly described her son's death as mysterious.
Infidelity, alcohol, and a push
During the investigation, police discovered that Sandhya (32) was reportedly engaged in an extramarital relationship with Anil (35), who lives in Indrapuri Colony in Nizamabad. Viewing Prasanth as a barrier to their affair, Sandhya and Anil allegedly plotted to kill him. As reported by news agency ANI, the pair sought assistance from 25-year-old Venkat Sai, a resident of Nyalkal village, to carry out their scheme.
According to a police statement, as part of the plot, Sai visited Prasanth's home on June 29 and made him drink a large quantity of alcohol. Following Sandhya's instructions given over the phone, Sai then led Prasanth to the building's terrace and pushed him off.
Toilet cleaner administered as final blow
Prasanth survived the fall but suffered serious injuries. Sandhya and Sai first took him to a government hospital for treatment, then transferred him to a private hospital, and ultimately brought him back home. After being encouraged by Anil, the wife allegedly injected Prasanth with a toilet cleaner and an anesthesia medicine through a cannula. She also pushed him off his cot, which ultimately caused his death.
Accused confess to crime
Police officials stated that all three accused admitted their role in the crime during the investigation. They were subsequently presented before a magistrate and placed in judicial custody.
