The family dined at Sheetal Restaurant in the evening of August 15, and all five members fell ill with vomiting the following day. Medical Health Officer P H Umrigar confirmed the symptoms. The family initially declined hospitalisation on August 16, but the girl became unconscious on August 17 and was taken to Sadvichar Hospital, where she was declared dead.
Her post-mortem is ongoing. Her father was discharged on Tuesday morning, while her mother and two children remain hospitalized in stable condition. The restaurant's closure and a notice were issued due to lapses in cleanliness and hygiene.
