Chitradurga Police have succeeded to unravel the mystery behind the death of four people due to food poisoning at Isamudra Gollarahatti near Chitradurga taluk reported on July 12. A minor girl of the family is the accused and she has been sent to an observation home. She allegedly mixed a pesticide with ragi flour while preparing mudde as she was feeling isolated and neglected in the family.
Her father Thippa Naika (45) mother Sudha Bai (40) grandmother Gundibai (80) sister Ramya (16) had died after having dinner on the day. Her elder brother Chandrashekhar alias Rahul, who had dinner on the day, survived after undergoing treatment in Davangere.
Bharamasagar Police had registered the case. They collected the sample of food from the kitchen and sent it for forensic examination. The FSL report confirmed the presence of pesticide content in ragi mudde. Only the accused did not have mudde that day, though she had prepared it. After several days of enquiry and counselling, the police came to know that it was the minor girl who was the accused. She said to have procured a used bottle of pesticide while returning home from the agriculture field.
