According to the police, believing this to be true, on Tuesday, Naresh consumed the mixture and gave it to his mother Laxmi (53) and wife Sandhya Rani (27) as well. All of them started vomiting and were immediately shifted to a private hospital. As Naresh’s condition was critical, he was shifted to Gandhi Hospital, where he died on Friday.
