A tragic incident in the Chandkheda area of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, has resulted in the deaths of two young sisters, Raha Prajapati (3 months) and her four-year-old sister, Mishri Prajapati, within two days. Their parents, Vimal and Bhavna Prajapati, are currently hospitalized but stable. The family suspects food poisoning linked to dosa batter purchased from a local dairy, but police are investigating further due to unusual circumstances surrounding the infant's death, who was not consuming solid food. The elder sister died after being briefly discharged from the hospital. Investigators are also looking into the delayed reporting of the infant's death, which was not communicated to authorities until after the elder child's passing. The dairy owner, Ketan Patel, has denied any connection to the deaths, asserting that the same batch of batter was sold without complaints. Forensic samples have been collected, and police await results to clarify the situation.
