Jasrotia said after becoming suspicious of all the sequences he sought an investigation by the police in the matter. He added that in his application to police he mentioned that he suspected the foul play by one of his servants Makhan who served food etc to him.
He said on his persistent demand the police took the samples of the water under the seal of Executive Magistrate and while analyzing samples the Public Health Lab, Jammu in its report submitted that sample contain suspended impurities and detergents and hence it is unsafe.
He said the samples were also sent to FSL Jammu for analysis on April 17 which in its report on April 21 said that no common poison/drug could be detected in the sample.
