Eleven people, including seven children, are hospitalised after suspected food poisoning linked to a birthday cake. Three children are in intensive care, and all patients are reported to be in stable condition. The affected children say they found a dead lizard inside the cake they ate.
Police seize cake samples from Chamunda Cake Shop for testing. Authorities are investigating whether contamination caused the illness, based on the reported presence of the lizard in the cake and the timing of symptoms. Hospitals are treating the patients while samples are examined to confirm the cause.
Across the reports, the shared details are that the incident occurs in Maharashtra near Mumbai, the number of affected people is eleven, and the trigger is alleged to be a dead lizard found in the birthday cake. The accounts differ mainly in how much they focus on the number of children and the status of those in ICU.
