A 36-year old woman was rushed to the hospital by Dahisar police on Thursday after she consumed phenyl during interrogation. The woman was arrested on Tuesday for cheating hundreds of people on the pretext of chit fund schemes.&nbsp;
Smita Srivastava, a resident of Dahisar was arrested after hundreds of women registered complaints against her for taking money from them on the pretext of doubling it, which turned out to be fake.
Srivastava was produced in a court and was remanded police custody&nbsp;for two days. During interrogation, she used to avoid answering questions by making excuses. On Thursday, during another round of interrogation, she excused herself for answering nature's call. When she came out, she informed the cops that she had consumed phenyl.
