Following an evening argument that seemed to resolve, the couple shared a meal. Afterward, Savita asked Shailesh to run an errand at a neighbor’s house and then fled the scene.
Although Shailesh’s brother Akhilesh rushed him to the hospital, he succumbed to his injuries. Before his death, Shailesh recorded a video statement implicating Savita in the poisoning.
The police have since arrested Savita and registered a case against her. Kaushambi Superintendent of Police Brijesh Kumar Shrivastava confirmed the details, stating that the victim’s body has been sent for a post-mortem examination.
