In a separate incident, 20 female students of a local seminary fell victim to toxic food in Dhoke Mustaqeem. Their health worsened after they bought pakora and samosa from a nearby shop to the seminary.

As soon as they ate toxic food items, they fell sick. Rescue personnel arrived at the seminary after receiving an emergency call about the condition of the victim students. They shifted them to the District Headquarters Hospital for medical care.

Police also investigated this matter and found that a nearby shop at a local seminary sold contaminated food to students, which made them sick. They also took food samples from that shop to send them for laboratory tests to initiate legal action against the shop owner.
