Woman Dies, Man Critical After Consuming Poison in Bulandshahr Hotel
Meerut: A tragic incident unfolded in Sikandrabad town of Bulandshahr district on Wednesday, where a woman died and a man remains in critical condition after the two allegedly consumed poison in a hotel room, police said.
Preliminary investigation suggests that the two individuals, both residents of the Jarcha police station area in Greater Noida, Gautam Buddh Nagar district, were in a relationship.
Hotel operator Arun stated that the couple arrived at the hotel around 10 am. The incident came to light when a housekeeping staff member, who had gone to clean the room, found the woman lying motionless beside the bed. "After being informed, I went to the room and initially thought she might be asleep or unwell. When she did not respond, I immediately alerted the police through Dial 112," he said.
Circle officer (Sikandrabad) Bhaskar Kumar Mishra said, "A police team rushed to the spot and found the woman dead inside the room, while the man, still alive, was taken to hospital." He added that the woman's body has been sent for postmortem.
A bottle containing a suspected poisonous substance has been recovered from the room, and investigators are examining all possible angles behind the incident. Police are awaiting the postmortem report and the statement of the man to ascertain the exact circumstances that led to the incident.
