Bihar: Youth dies due to food poisoning in Bhabhua, restaurant sealed​

Patna, April 8 A tragic incident has emerged from Bhabhua, where a 20-year-old youth died after allegedly consuming food from a local restaurant, while his younger brother and a friend fell ill.​

The deceased has been identified as Vishal Kumar Tiwari, a resident of Sarangpur.​

Following the incident, the district administration has sealed the restaurant from which the food was purchased.​

According to an official, Vishal, along with his brother Vinayak Tiwari and friend Devraj Kumar Singh, had brought food items—including Manchurian and Kadhai Paneer—from a restaurant on Tuesday night. They consumed the meal around 10:30 PM.​

Later in the night, all three began experiencing severe health complications, including vomiting.​

Their condition worsened early in the morning, prompting the family to rush them to the Sadar Hospital.​

Family members stated that the trio was admitted to the hospital around 4:30 AM, where doctors declared Vishal dead.​

However, the family has alleged medical negligence, claiming that he was declared dead without a proper examination and that their pleas were not adequately addressed.​

In a shocking development, the family observed signs of movement in Vishal’s body after he was declared dead. They immediately took him to a private hospital, where doctors reportedly confirmed that he had died only minutes earlier—raising serious questions about the handling of the case at the government hospital.​

The hospital administration, however, has denied all allegations of negligence.​

Upon receiving information, officials, including Amit Kumar and Aniket Amar, reached the hospital to assess the situation.​

Police have registered an FIR based on the complaint filed by the deceased’s father.​

A forensic team has collected food samples from both the restaurant and the victim’s residence for laboratory analysis.​

Additionally, viscera has been preserved during the post-mortem to scientifically determine the exact cause of death.​

The incident has cast a shadow of grief over the family. Vishal’s father revealed that preparations were underway for his son’s sacred thread ceremony scheduled for April 20.​

Police forces have been deployed in the area as a precautionary measure to maintain law and order.​

Officials have stated that further action will be taken based on the post-mortem findings and forensic reports, which are expected to clarify whether food poisoning or any other factor led to the tragic death.​
