Gujarat Police Investigate Pregnant Woman's Death as Murder, Detain Family Members
In Gujarat's Kheda district, police are investigating the death of Arunaben Sodha, a pregnant woman initially reported to have died by suicide. Authorities detained her husband, Mitul Sodha, and brother-in-law, Vipul Sodha, after evidence suggested Arunaben was forcibly given liquid nano urea, a toxic agricultural chemical, leading to her death. The family allegedly staged the scene to appear as suicide. Investigations revealed prior harassment and disputes within the family, with Mitul reportedly searching online about legal consequences before the incident.
