After doctors confirmed mercury poisoning, Vidya underwent treatment for a month at Oxford Hospital and was later shifted to Victoria Hospital. The doctors treating her stated that the poison had spread throughout her body, and her kidneys were failing. Dialysis was started immediately, but there was no improvement in her condition. Vidya endured unimaginable pain for nine months, fighting death every single day. Despite medical efforts and her strong will to live, she finally lost her life in November, leaving behind her grieving family and unanswered questions.

Following her death, Attibele Police filed an FIR on Sunday (November 23, 2025) against her husband, Basavaraj, and father-in-law Mariswamachari, based on the dying statement Vidya had given earlier.

The incident has triggered shock, anger, and deep concern, raising serious questions about domestic violence and the hidden suffering many women experience behind closed doors.
