Friend's Poisoned Drink: Six-Month Murder Mystery Solved

Khetri police in Jhunjhunu have apprehended a 20-year-old man, identified as Rahul, in connection with a murder that occurred six months prior. The victim, Mintu, died on January 22 after consuming poisoned liquor provided by Rahul.

Initially, Mintu's family believed he had been assaulted during an argument. However, a post-mortem examination revealed that poisoning was the actual cause of death. This discovery prompted a thorough investigation by the police, utilizing scientific and technical evidence.

The investigation uncovered a personal dispute between Rahul and Mintu, leading police to believe Rahul meticulously planned the murder to settle a score. Rahul allegedly visited Mintu's village on January 22 and offered him liquor mixed with poison. Mintu succumbed to the effects shortly thereafter.

Authorities stated that Rahul likely believed his crime would go undetected. However, a dedicated six-month investigation enabled law enforcement to reconstruct the events and identify Rahul as the primary suspect. Further investigations are ongoing.
