Indian Courts Address Poisoning Allegations in Separate Matrimonial Cases
The Jharkhand High Court recently granted bail to a woman accused of poisoning her mother-in-law with samosas in May 2025, a case involving domestic disputes and pending forensic reports. Separately, the Allahabad High Court acquitted a husband and in-laws in a decades-old poisoning case, citing the bitter taste and smell of zinc phosphide and lack of evidence for forced administration. Both cases highlight challenges in proving poisoning allegations in Indian courts.
