The investigation into the tragic deaths of four members of the Dokadia family in Mumbai's Pydhonie area has revealed significant findings. After confirming the presence of rat poison in the victims' bodies, police seized two packets of rat poison and a spray from the family's residence in Mughal Building. Forensic tests indicated that all four family members—Abdullah Dokadia (44), Nasreen (35), and their daughters Ayesha (16) and Zainab (13)—died from consuming rat poison, with traces of zinc phosphide found in both their bodies and the watermelon they had eaten.
