Bengaluru: 21 students of Indus International school fall ill; Food poising suspected

In a suspected case of food poisoning, in an international school in Bengaluru, as many as 21 students fell sick after eating food that was served in the school. Parents think that the problem is due to the chicken served in the meal. An investigation is being carried out to find out the exact reason.

Indus International School in Bengaluru serves food to both day schoolers and boarders. After eating the meal served in this international school on Sarjapur Road, nearly twenty-one students of one section of grade 2 fell sick from a suspected case of food poisoning.
