Two students die after allegedly eating momos, french fries at UP school
According to the parents, the children had consumed momos and finger chips on Sunday evening, bought from a shop near Mahendra Chowk.
Two students, Nitin, 12, and Arun Kushwaha, 9, died after consuming momos and french fries at BL Vidya Mandir, a private school in Uttar Pradesh's Banda district, according to reports. The incident occurred on Monday, with the students falling ill between Sunday night and Monday morning. Both children experienced vomiting and abdominal pain.
Nitin, a resident of Sarwasah village, fell ill around 1 am on Monday, while Arun, from Mahendu village, became sick around 4 am. School staff initially took Nitin to the district hospital, from where he was brought back to the school, and then to a hospital again, where doctors declared him dead around 7 am. Arun was taken to the district hospital at 6 am and later referred to a medical college, where he died en route.
A third student, Yogesh Shivhare, 10, also fell ill on Monday afternoon but is recovering. Post-mortems were conducted on the deceased students, and the police have initiated an investigation. Relatives claim the school only informed them after the children reached the hospital or died, contradicting the school's statement that staff took the children to the hospital when they became ill.
