    Something fishy, cant rule out murder conspiracy or suicide. Whatever the poison is it will be felt in seconds and normal people spit it out, no one swallows.. despite forcefully fed.

    @Ravi kapu,I dont think it is a suicide.She was planning to get a passport.One never know,can also some one mixed with Intention to harm one,.Most probably the poisonous powder was kept in the same place where toothbrush powder kept.Atleast could have labelled .The Person who installed there was absolutely senseless.In villages mostly they Keep either rat poison or some poisonous medicine for cultivation purpose.It was really bad luck soon after marriage she couldn't enjoy her luck.May her Soul rest in peace.Heartfelt sympathy to the Family.

    sad news. i was really sorry to hear a news 1 year back in Udupi a child died sue to mistaking rat poison for pepper powder. And he consumed it and died. People must be extremely careful when using anything as food or on our body.
