Five persons, including four minors of a family, were hospitalised after they consumed ready-to-eat noodles here, a senior police officer said on Monday.
“An FIR was lodged by the father of the children and since it is a non-cognisable case, we are moving court for approval,” East Khasi Hills district SP (City) Vivek Syiem said.
The siblings, residents of Lawsohtun area in the city, started complaining of severe headache and started vomiting soon after consuming the ready-to-eat noodles bought from a local market yesterday afternoon, the officer at Laban police station said.
“Three of them were admitted to Ganesh Das Hospital and the other two were rushed to Shillong Civil Hospital for immediate medical attention,” Deputy Commissioner of Food Safety S. N. Sangma said.
The Food Safety office has taken samples of the vomit and leftover noodles for a detailed test and has also ordered an inquiry into the incident, Mr. Sangma said. - PTI
