In a bizarre case, wife of SP (Crime) in Etawah ‘mistakenly’ consumed some poisonous substance on Tuesday morning and was admitted to hospital. Local police officials took no legal cognisance of the matter, saying they were waiting for the victim to recover before acting depending on her disclosure. 

According to sources, SP’s wife Pallavi Chowdhary was rushed to the district hospital and it was claimed that she consumed some poisonous substance by mistake and her condition started deteriorating. 

Doctors attending to her referred her to Saifai Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences. Medical superintendent at Saifai PGI Dr Adesh Kumar claimed that the condition of the woman was stable but she had been shifted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). 

The police claimed that Mahesh was getting ready to leave for his office on Tuesday morning when his wife consumed phenyl by mistake. The domestic help raised an alarm  after which Mahesh called circle officer Vaibhav Pandey, with whose help, she was rushed to the district hospital. 

Meanwhile, in a different case in Agra, wife of another SP rank officer, earlier posted in Lucknow, has written a letter demanding action against her husband, who was allegedly involved in a long late night chat with a woman hailing from Lucknow. The woman claimed that few days back, he checked the mobile of her husband over suspicion that he was involved in some affair. She said she was shocked when she found a long WhatsApp chat of her husband with a woman living in Lucknow. The affair had been going for over a year, she claimed.

She also said that her husband started abusing her after she objected to his affair with another woman. Though the DGP office refused to make any comment on the issue, sources said that the Agra SSP had been asked to look into the matter and send his report for further action.
