Vakte consumed poison after eating dinner at his residence last night and died in a hospital during treatment, they said, adding that he was under debt of Rs 8 lakh.

They said,”On the other hand, Chavan died in Nashik civil hospital, where he was admitted on May 17 after he had consumed poison”

A case of unintentional death was registered, police said, adding further investigation is on.
