After that I started vomiting and felt a burning sensation in the stomach,” Priyanka, a teenager admitted to the government hospital, told PTI Videos.
Parkham Singh, a resident of Parkham village who had come with a patient, said after consuming the fritters people started complaining about dizziness, vomiting and shivering.
“The kuttu ka atta (buckwheat flour) was purchased from a local shop in the village,” he said.
Around 50 people from my village have fallen ill, he added.
“My wife is unable to stand, she has become very weak, almost unconscious,” Mahesh, another resident of the village, told PTI Videos.
