Woman Arrested for Poisoning Family's Food in Uttar Pradesh
Shocking Incident in Kaushambi
In a disturbing event in Kaushambi, Uttar Pradesh, a woman attempted to poison her entire family by mixing poison into flour. The incident came to light due to a mistake made by the woman, leading to her arrest by the police, who have initiated an investigation.
The shocking news emerged from Malakiya village in the Karari area of Kaushambi district. On Sunday night, the woman turned against her own family, allegedly adding poison to the flour.
Following a complaint from her husband, the police registered a case against the woman, her brother, and her father. All three have been apprehended and are now in custody.
Brijesh Kumar Maurya, a resident of Malakiya and a helper in Saudi Arabia, returned home two and a half months ago. He reported that on Sunday evening, around 7 PM, his wife Malti was preparing dinner when he noticed a strange odor coming from the dough. Upon inspection, he found the flour had a darker color, which raised his suspicions.
When Brijesh confronted Malti, she confessed that she was fed up with the family and intended to poison them. She claimed that her father Kallu Prasad and brother Bajrangi, who live in Manouri, had advised her to do so over the phone.
Brijesh immediately contacted the police by dialing 112. The authorities took his complaint seriously and raided Malti's parental home, detaining both her father and brother.
Inspector Vineet Singh confirmed that a case has been filed against all three suspects. They were presented in court on Monday and subsequently sent to jail. Additionally, samples of the poisoned dough will be sent for laboratory analysis.
Brijesh Kumar Maurya shared that he married Malti Devi in 2014 in the Manouri market area of Prayagraj. They have two children, and while he worked in Saudi Arabia, his wife and children lived with the extended family.
He alleged that during his absence, Malti frequently spoke on the phone for hours, leading to arguments when he objected. Upon returning home, he noticed her continued phone conversations with unknown numbers, which sometimes included threats directed at him.
Brijesh also mentioned that Malti would wear a salwar suit while going to the fields, and conflicts arose when family members objected to her attire.
Thanks to Brijesh's quick thinking, he potentially saved the lives of ten family members. When the villagers learned of Malti's dangerous actions, they were left in shock. Brijesh expressed gratitude that he noticed the issue in time; otherwise, the entire family could have fallen victim to Malti's deadly plan.
