Three children reportedly died of food poisoning in Karachi’s Kharadar on Monday, according to the police.
The children went out with their mother and paternal aunt for a drive. They ate burgers from a shop on Chunrigar Road, and then picked up ice cream from a Saddar shop on June 13, a police officer told SAMAA TV. When they returned home, they started vomiting and the family rushed them to the Kharadar General Hospital on June 14 at 6:30am. The hospital discharged them after treating them.
Around midnight their condition deteriorated again and they were taken to the hospital once again. The doctors referred one child to the Jinnah hospital but the child died on his way to the hospital, while the other two passed away at the Kharadar hospital, the police said.
