10-year-old Patiala girl dies after eating her birthday cake ordered online, no arrests after 5 days

Manvi’s family told the police that after going to sleep, Manvi asked for water early in the morning and went back to sleep. They said when they later checked on her, she was unconscious. She was taken to a hospital and the doctors declared her dead.

Manvi’s family alleged that five other members of the family who ate the cake also fell ill. The family said they took the cake to the health department to ascertain the cause of her death but the health officials turned them away.

The health officials said the exact cause of Manvi’s death will be determined after the viscera report of the body.

On the complaint of Mansi’s mother Kajal, the local police registered a case against ‘Kanha Bakery’ shop under sections 304-A (death due to negligence) and 273 (sale of food or drink, any article which has been rendered or has become noxious) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

Patiala civil surgeon Dr Raminder Kaur also marked an inquiry into the death.
