Over 200 members of Bangladesh Ansar and VDP were hospitalised after they fell sick eating lunch at their 41st national convention at Ansar-VDP academy in Shafiur, Gazipur.
The victims said that they started feeling sick after eating the lunch they were served on Saturday following their national convention.
The 100-bed hospital inside the academy overflowed with patients by night and doctors rushed to the barracks for treating those, who could not get a place at the hospital.
‘Many Ansar members fell sick because of food poisoning,’ said Mehnaz Tabassum, public relations officer of Ansar.
