Thirteen children fall ill after eating a meal at a government residential school in Bhopal, with symptoms reported as stomach pain and vomiting. The students are admitted to JP Hospital, and local health officials say they are being monitored and treated. All are reported to be stable, and some are kept in paediatric and other wards, with plans for discharge after observation.

Several outlets report that the children allege a lizard was found in the food, with a video reportedly showing an object resembling a lizard in the cooking vessel. Police are investigating the incident and examining food samples, while awaiting medical reports and laboratory testing to determine whether food contamination is responsible. Health authorities confirm the number of children hospitalised and provide breakdowns by class. The differing emphasis across outlets centers on the suspected food poisoning claims and the emerging “lizard in meal” allegation, but they align on the hospitalisation and ongoing testing.
