Police in Chhattisgarh have identified the toxin used by a serial killer, linking it to multiple recent deaths.
Chhattisgarh law enforcement officials announced that forensic examinations have pinpointed a specific poison as the weapon of a serial killer operating in the state. Toxicology reports from the state forensic lab confirmed the presence of the substance in several exhumed bodies, establishing a clear pattern of use.
The investigation, which began after a series of unexplained deaths, now ties the poison to a number of victims whose remains were recovered from different districts. Detectives say the consistency of the toxin across cases suggests a single perpetrator with a distinct method.
Authorities are intensifying the search for the suspect, reviewing surveillance footage and interviewing relatives of the deceased. The police have urged the public to report any suspicious activity that might relate to the ongoing probe.
The case has drawn attention to the need for heightened vigilance in handling toxic substances and underscores the role of forensic science in solving complex criminal investigations.
