Karimnagar: A woman allegedly having an extra-marital relation, eloped with her beau after poisoning her husband, two children and father-in-law in Burugupalli village of this district. This bizarre incident occurred on Thursday night, but came to light on Saturday morning..

According t police, the woman identified as Uma was married to Vilasagar Anjaiah and had two children Siddharta (11) and Manvitha (4). Her in-laws Rajesham and Laxmi were also living in the house. Uma, it was alleged, developed intimacy with another person and was believed to have administered poison-laced semia to all the family members and eloped with him. Her mother-in-law Laxmi, however, did not consumer Semia and was safe, police said.

The family members fell unconscious minutes after eating semia and the woman eloped with her beau. However, her husband regained consciousness on Friday morning and managed to stagger out of the house. Perhaps being groggy under the poison effect, he fell into an open drain and sustained injuries. The villagers who noticed this rushed into his house to notice other family members in a stupor. All of them were rushed to Karimnagar district hospital, where the consideration of Manvitha is stated to be critical.

A case has been registered and investigation is in progress. The eloped couple is yet to be traced..
