Nagpur: A 65-year-old retired employee died during treatment after allegedly consuming poison at his residence in Digdoh under the MIDC Police Station limits. Police said the incident was reportedly linked to ongoing family disputes over his long-standing addiction to kharra, a locally consumed smokeless tobacco mixture.
The deceased has been identified as Shivcharan (65), who had retired from a private company and lived with his family in Digdoh.
According to police, Shivcharan had been addicted to consuming kharra for several years. Concerned about the adverse impact on his health, his family had repeatedly urged him to quit the habit. However, frequent disagreements over the issue allegedly led to mounting mental stress.
