A Pune man, arrested for allegedly distributing poison-laced capsules during a Muharram procession in Byculla, had planned to target 15,000 people. Police recovered nearly 15,000 capsules filled with zinc phosphide, a potent rat poison, from his hotel room. At least two individuals reported poisoning symptoms after consuming the capsules, believing them to be painkillers. Investigators are exploring potential links to international conspiracies.
