In Mumbai's Pydhonie neighbourhood, four family members—a 40-year-old husband, his 35-year-old wife, and their two children, ages 16 and 13—died on Monday from suspected food poisoning, according to authorities.
The event began on April 25 at around 10:30 PM when nine family members, including close relatives, had supper together, according to Mumbai Police. Later, the family members went back to their individual residences. The four family members are said to have eaten watermelon between 1:00 and 1:30 in the morning.
On April 26, between 5:30 and 6:00 AM, all four started to exhibit significant symptoms, such as loose movements and vomiting.The spouse passed away later that evening at around 10:30 PM, while the younger daughter died at around 10:15 AM despite medical efforts. During therapy, the wife and older daughter also died.
Although post-mortem investigations have been carried out, histopathology findings must be obtained before the ultimate cause of death may be determined. At the JJ Marg Police Station, an accidental death (AD) case has been filed.
Abdullah Dokadia (40), Nasreen Dokadia (35), and their daughters Aisha (16) and Zainab (13) have been identified as the victims. Preliminary accounts say that one of the family members told the police that the family had eaten watermelon later in the evening after consuming biryani.

The precise cause of the alleged food illness is yet unknown and is being looked into, according to police officials.
In a different but related event on Sunday in the Giridih district of Jharkhand, a seven-year-old kid died and eighteen others were admitted to the hospital after allegedly consuming tainted "golgappa" and "chaat" from a street vendor. Local officials and the health department launched an investigation after the event, which took place in Bajto hamlet within the boundaries of the Muffasil police station.
Consuming tainted food or water is usually the source of food poisoning, which can produce symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and stomach discomfort. Authorities are still advising people to exercise caution when it comes to food safety and cleanliness.
