Overview
- Police entered the locked Izzatnagar rental after a cousin raised the alarm and found 33-year-old Nikhil Arora and his Labrador dead.
- Investigators suspect he mixed celphos or sulphas, a grain-storage pesticide that is lethal if swallowed, into buttermilk.
- Officers say the dog was likely fed the mixture before Arora drank it, based on items recovered at the scene.
- Cops recovered buttermilk packets and an empty pesticide container, and they seized an audio message in which he said he could not repay loans and planned to take poison.
- No suicide note was found, and both bodies have been sent for post-mortem as the police investigation continues.
