Kaushambi (UP), August 4

Two women and a child of a family died due to suspected food poisoning in Kaushambi district of Uttar Pradesh, police said on Wednesday.

Sixty-five-year-old Shivkali, her daughter-in-law Seema Devi (25) and grandson Shivam (5) fell ill after dinner on Tuesday.

Shivkali died at home, while Seema and Shivam died at a hospital later.

Seema’s husband Kandhai and sister-in-law are critical and undergoing treatment.

Two other children of Kandhai, aged 2 and 3 years, are safe as they did not consume food with the family.

The family lives in Chak Pinha village in Sarai Akeel area of the district.
