Soumya first poisoned her daughter Aishwarya, who died on January 21 this year after being hospitalised with symptoms of vomiting, police said." """"
Four days after her father's death, the accused also got herself admitted to a hospital, feigning symptoms of vomiting."

However, some of her relatives raised suspicions over the three deaths in a 50-day period and lodged a police complaint following which investigations began, thus unravelling the mystery over the deaths."
After sustained questioning for about 11 hours, Soumya on Tuesday night broke down and admitted to poisoning them, police said."""
Sandhya also said her sister used to send videos of her parents and daughter in the hospital over mobile and would regularly update her about their health condition, thus leaving no room for any suspicion."
