PUDUCHERRY, JAN 8
The CB-CID police would probe into the case of alleged supply of a water bottle with colourless toxic liquid to the Puducherry Collector Purva Garg, Territorial DGP B Srivastava said on Friday.
As soon as Garg found the bottle containing toxic liquid instead of water served to her by her personal staff on January 6 during an official meeting, she lodged a police complaint through her special officer on Thursday.
A case under section 284 of IPC (negligent conduct with respect to poisonous substance) was registered.
The case has since been transferred to the CB-CID for enquiry with immediate effect as per an order of the DGP.
Lieutenant Governor Kiran Bedi, who had termed the incident as shocking, in a WhatsApp message to reporters communicated the copy of the DGP’s order shifting the case for inquiry to the CB-CID.
