Revealed: Lata Mangeshkar was given slow poison 50 years ago

Mumbai: Veteran Hindi writer Padma Sachdev, who was very close to melody queen Lata Mangeshkar, has recently written a book in which she has disclosed for the first time that Lata was given slow poison

"Lataji's doctor was called. He came with an x-ray machine to check her, and gave her an injection to render her unconscious, because Lataji was in pain.  For three days, Lataji had a close brush with death. After ten days, she began to recover. The doctor told her that somebody gave her slow poison.  

"The most surprising thing was that soon after the incident, the cook who used to work at Lataji's home, suddenly vanished without taking his wages. The cook had earlier worked with some Bollywood people.
