10 fall ill after eating momos in Telangana; Family alleges woman died after eating snack
Hyderabad, Oct 28: Ten people took ill after allegedly eating momos sold at a roadside stall here while a woman reportedly died after consuming the snack at a different location in the city, police said on Monday.
The alleged victims had consumed the momos prepared by the same vendor but sold at different places under the Banjara Hills police station limits last week, they said.
A family member of the deceased woman complained to police that she fell sick after eating the snack and was later admitted to a hospital.
The woman's body was interred and a decision on further course of action to ascertain the cause of her death is yet to be taken, they added.
A Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) release said the corporation's food safety officials, with the help of police, traced the street vendor and found that the establishment is being operated without license.
The officials have sent the food samples to the state food laboratory for analysis and orders were issued to stop the vendor's business operations.
The GHMC food safety officials also addressed a letter to the Banjara Hills police to conduct an inquiry into the matter.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
