Assistant Police Sub-Inspector (ASI) Shivraj Singh stated that authorities are still investigating if the incident involves a suicide attempt or unintentional ingestion of the toxic material.
He further stated that the body was given to the family on Monday morning following a post-mortem examination.
Kavet was a college drop-out
According to the Singh, Lalit Kavet used to labor on the farm alongside his father after dropping out of college.
