Woman and Three Daughters Die After Consuming Pesticide in Madhya Pradesh VillagePreviousNext

In Madhya Pradesh's Shahdol district, Anita Singh (32) allegedly administered pesticide to her three daughters before consuming it herself on Saturday night. Two daughters, Ritika (4) and Krishnakumari (2), died shortly after, while the third, Arpita (7), died during treatment on Sunday. The eldest daughter escaped to alert neighbors, who took them to Beohari hospital. Police recovered aluminium phosphide at the scene and have registered a case, with investigations ongoing.
