In Rajasthan, a doctor who prescribed cough syrup linked to the deaths of two children took a lethal risk by consuming the same medicine to prove its safety, resulting in his hospitalization. The incident, reported by NDTV, involved 2-year-old Samrat and 5-year-old Nitisha, whose deaths prompted the physician’s dangerous act. After ingesting the syrup, the doctor collapsed and required intensive care.
NDTV later revealed that 12 children across India died from the drug, with nine cases in Madhya Pradesh. Symptoms included vomiting, diarrhea, and urinary failure following consumption. In Armenia, a man was sentenced to probation after being found guilty of poisoning his children with dichlorvos.
A separate incident in Armenia’s Syunik region saw 17 individuals hospitalized after food poisoning during an outdoor feast. Samples of food items were tested for contamination.
