The post-mortem report suggested that the death was homicidal in nature, police said on Friday. ADVERTISEMENTGanesh Das was arrested from his home on Maniktala Main Road for allegedly administering corrosive poison to his wife, Pritam Kumari. The officer had collected the post-mortem report from the autopsy surgeon at NRS, where the woman died on December 30. The next day, a case of unnatural death was drawn up, and the body was sent for post-mortem,” the officer said. The post-mortem findings prompted the police to register a fresh case against the husband, following which Das was arrested.
