Ahmedabad News: A tragic and mysterious incident in Ahmedabad has sparked serious concerns about food safety after two young children reportedly died and their parents were left in critical condition following a meal at home. According to initial reports in Ahmedabad news, the family had prepared and eaten dosas using batter purchased from a local dairy shop in the Chandkheda area. Shortly after consuming the meal, all family members began experiencing severe vomiting and other symptoms that required urgent medical attention.
Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, while forensic experts are examining the food batter to determine whether contamination or food poisoning played a role in the tragedy.
Family Falls Ill After Eating Homemade Dosas
The incident occurred in Chandkheda, a residential locality in Ahmedabad. Two days before the tragedy, the family purchased ready-made dosa batter from a local shop known as Ghanshyam Dairy on IOC Road.
Later that evening, the family prepared dosas using the batter and ate the meal together at home. According to relatives, everything seemed normal at first. However, by the next morning, the situation took a disturbing turn.
Family members began experiencing severe vomiting and signs of illness. Their condition deteriorated quickly, prompting relatives to rush them to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Despite doctors’ efforts, the two children in the family could not be saved. The victims have been identified as three-month-old Raha and four-year-old Mishri. Meanwhile, the children’s parents, Bhavna Prajapati and Vimal Prajapati, remain admitted to a private hospital and are reportedly battling for their lives.
Relatives Describe the Sequence of Events
Speaking to reporters, a relative named Gaurishankar Prajapati described how the events unfolded.
According to him, Vimal Prajapati had gone to Ghanshyam Dairy around 8:00 PM to purchase the dosa batter. After returning home, the family prepared dosas and ate them together.
“The next morning, my son started vomiting repeatedly and his health worsened, so we admitted him to the hospital,” he explained.
At first, the family did not suspect that the food might be responsible for the illness. Bhavna Prajapati, unaware that the batter could be linked to the symptoms, later consumed the same batter again. She also gave a dosa made from it to their young daughter.
“After that, they too started vomiting the next day. When their condition worsened, we took all of them to the hospital,” the relative added.
Police and Forensic Teams Begin Investigation
The incident quickly caught the attention of local authorities and became a major topic in Ahmedabad news. Chandkheda police have started an official investigation to determine the cause of the illness and the deaths of the children.
To establish whether the batter was contaminated or spoiled, a team from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) visited Ghanshyam Dairy and collected samples of the batter for detailed analysis.
Officials will examine the samples to check for bacterial contamination, toxins, or other substances that could have caused food poisoning.
Police officials stated that they are waiting for the forensic results before drawing any conclusions about the cause of the tragedy.
Dairy Owner Denies Any Issue with the Batter
The owners of Ghanshyam Dairy have denied that their product was responsible for the incident. According to Ketan Patel, one of the dairy operators, the same batter is sold to many customers every day without any complaints.
He said that the family had visited the shop together to buy the batter, and it was handed to them like any other customer order.
“Every day we sell around 100 to 125 kilograms of dosa batter. Many customers buy it regularly,” he explained.
Patel also claimed that the same batch of batter had been given to other customers as well as to relatives, and none of them reported any health problems.
“The batter is prepared here at our dairy itself. No other customer has complained about illness after consuming it,” he added.
Another Owner Shares Details of the Sale
Another dairy owner, Vipul Patel, also addressed the situation and shared additional details about the transaction.
According to him, the family purchased approximately three kilograms of dosa batter from the shop on April 1. Two days later, on April 3, a member of the family returned to the shop and complained that the batter might have caused food poisoning.
“When they came back on April 3, they said they had fallen sick after eating dosas made from the batter,” Patel said.
He added that he told them they could return the remaining batter if there was a problem.
CCTV Footage Checked to Verify Complaint
Vipul Patel further explained that after receiving the complaint, he reviewed the shop’s CCTV recordings from April 1 to confirm the sale and to check whether other customers who bought batter around the same time reported any issues.
According to him, he contacted several customers who had purchased batter that day.
“I called other customers who bought batter before and after them. I asked whether they had experienced any problems after eating it. Everyone said they were fine,” he claimed.
He also mentioned that one nearby customer had even fed the same batter to a child the following day without any health issues.
Dairy Owner Claims Evidence Exists
Patel stated that CCTV cameras have been installed throughout the dairy shop specifically to handle situations like this.
He said the footage clearly shows the sequence of customers purchasing batter from the same container.
“If there was something wrong with the batter, then many customers would have fallen sick,” he argued.
According to Patel, the complaint about food poisoning was brought to the shop by the woman, Bhavna Prajapati, on April 3. He claimed that the conversation was recorded through the shop’s voice-enabled CCTV system.
“She came to say that after eating the batter they experienced stomach pain and symptoms like food poisoning,” he said.
Community Shocked as Investigation Continues
The incident has deeply shocked residents in the Chandkheda area and has become a major topic in Ahmedabad news. The tragic deaths of two young children have raised concerns about food safety, storage practices, and possible contamination.
Authorities have urged the public not to jump to conclusions until the forensic investigation is completed.
Health officials say food poisoning can occur due to several factors, including improper storage, bacterial growth, contamination during preparation, or consuming spoiled food.
Awaiting Forensic Results-Ahmedabad dosa death
For now, investigators are focusing on laboratory testing and medical reports to understand what exactly happened.
The results of the FSL analysis are expected to play a key role in determining whether the dosa batter was contaminated or whether another factor caused the illness.
Until then, the heartbreaking case remains under investigation, as the city waits for answers in one of the most disturbing incidents currently making headlines in Ahmedabad news.
