Fars News Agency reported, citing an 'informed source', that a Tabriz doctor, who was said to have lost his wife and grandmother due to consuming suspicious religious food, has confessed to 'being involved in the murder of these two'. No further details were provided in this report published on Sunday, November 9. Alireza Solhi is the Tabriz doctor who gained fame on social media in recent years for his beautifully written prescriptions and for prescribing the music of Mohammad Reza Shajarian for treating illnesses. Earlier, some officials had confirmed reports about the deaths of this doctor's wife and grandmother due to the consumption of 'suspicious religious food'. The Minister of Health and the Chief Justice of East Azerbaijan had also announced that they were pursuing this case. The local website 'Asr Tabriz' was one of the first media outlets to report the deaths of two family members of this Tabriz doctor on October 10. This website stated that 'an unknown individual visited this doctor's office and delivered food that was apparently contaminated with cyanide or rice pills', which caused several family members to suffer poisoning and be transferred to the hospital. The ILNA news agency identified Mr. Solhi as a political activist in East Azerbaijan and a member of the 'Unity of the Nation' party, and confirmed the deaths of two of his family members based on statements from his relatives. At that time, Jamal Hosseini, the public relations manager of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, told Mehr News Agency that 'the food poisoning of this family has been confirmed and is certain'. However, on November 7, the Health Online website quoted one of Alireza Solhi's friends as saying that this doctor had been arrested and investigators were interrogating him. According to this friend of Mr. Solhi, he had no disputes with his wife.
