Karnataka Woman Arrested in Family Poisoning Plot
In Karnataka, a woman named Chaitra tried to poison her family using sleeping pills in their food.
She did this because she was having an affair and feared her husband would find out.
Her husband, Gajendra, found out about her plan and told the police.
This case is similar to another case in Kerala where someone was accused of poisoning family members.
Both cases show how someone's actions can have a devastating impact on their family.
Chaitra, a 33-year-old woman, was arrested in Karnataka for attempting to poison her family.
She allegedly used sleeping pills in their meals to conceal an extramarital affair.
Her husband, Gajendra, discovered the plan and reported it to the police.
Chaitra had an affair with Shivu, who assisted in the poisoning plot.
The case is similar to the 'cyanide killer' case in Kerala involving Jolly Joseph.
