MP Sweets Tragedy: 3 Dead, Police Suspect Poisoning, Not Just Food Poisoning

• Three people, including a 22-year-old woman Khushboo Kathuria, her grandfather Sundar Lal Kathuria, and security guard Dasaru Yaduvanshi, died in Junnardeo, Chhindwara district, Madhya Pradesh.
• The deaths occurred after consuming 'unclaimed' cashew-garnished pedas found in an abandoned bag outside a PHE office.
• Initially thought to be food poisoning, police are now investigating a premeditated attack due to a rapid drop in blood pressure and multi-organ failure in victims.
• Khushboo Kathuria's sister Shraddha alleged a troubled personal life and harassment from in-laws, who had previously threatened Khushboo, raising suspicion of foul play.
• Forensic experts are testing food samples and viscera to identify the toxin, as the sweets do not match local vendors' products.

Why It Matters: Police are investigating the deaths of three people from 'unclaimed' sweets as a possible planned murder.
