The duo first met at Haldar’s apartment on August 1 to discuss the deal. Doulath again met Haldar on August 3rd to finalise the deal. The two had a few drinks when Doulath mixed Haldar’s drink with Silver Potassium content or cyanide. To make sure that Haldar does not survive the poison, Doulath choked him using a cloth.
