This decision proved pivotal as the footage captured a colleague pouring a powder-like substance into her water bottle before quickly leaving the scene.The victim promptly reported the incident to law enforcement. Authorities, particularly workers from the Hydrology and Water Resources Investigation Bureau, emphasized the gravity of the situation, awaiting the results of the police inquiry before proceeding.Legal experts also weighed in on the matter, noting that the suspects actions, if proven to be motivated by malicious intent, could constitute a criminal offense, regardless of the toxicity or actual harm caused by the substance.
