A man died under suspicious circumstances after allegedly consuming poison in Bhagalpur, prompting a police investigation as conflicting allegations emerge between his two wives.
The deceased man’s first wife has accused the second wife of involvement in his death, alleging that he was killed by being administered poison. She stated that her husband was willing to keep both wives together and intended to maintain unity within the family.
No clear statement has been issued by the second wife. However, local residents have been discussing the case, with some attributing it to a family dispute and others suggesting a possible conspiracy.
Police reached the scene after receiving information about the incident and have initiated an investigation. The body has been sent for postmortem examination to determine whether the death was caused by poison or any other factor.
Officials said it would be premature to draw conclusions at this stage. Statements from both sides are being recorded, and local residents are also being questioned. Investigators are examining whether the deceased consumed poison voluntarily or if it was administered by someone else.
The family of the deceased is in mourning following the incident, with relatives grieving and the matter widely discussed in the village.
Experts indicate that such cases often involve family tensions and disputes, but the actual cause will only be confirmed after the investigation is completed.
Police are examining all aspects of the case and awaiting the postmortem report, after which further action will be decided.
