Summary
- Charges framed for murder, poisoning, evidence destruction, and conspiracy

In a shocking turn of events, a Mumbai sessions court has framed charges against a homemaker and her alleged lover for the murder of her husband Kamalkant Shah through arsenic poisoning. The charges, which include murder, administering poison, destruction of evidence, and criminal conspiracy, were framed after the court heard arguments from both the prosecution and the defense.
The accused, Kavita Shah (47) and Hitesh Jain (56), have pleaded not guilty and are currently out on bail. The tragic incident unfolded in 2022 when Kamalkant (46) was admitted to the hospital for severe stomach pain. Medical tests revealed the presence of high levels of thallium and arsenic in his system, and he sadly passed away on September 19th.
The couple had separated in 2021 after Kamalkant discovered his wife's relationship with Jain. The court's decision to frame charges against the duo suggests that there is sufficient evidence to presume their involvement in the alleged murder plot. As the trial commences, the case has captured the attention of the city, leaving many wondering about the fate of the accused and the truth behind Kamalkant's untimely demise.
