Chittoor: 2 children die after consuming pesticide laced chicken curry
Grandmother of the children mixes pesticide in chicken curry by mistake and serves it to the children
Chittoor: In a freak incident, two children died at AL Puram of Gudipala mandal in the district on Monday. The deceased were identified as Rohith ( 11) and Jeeva (8).
According to police, the two children hailing from Cherlopalli village of Chittoor Rural mandal came to spend their holidays at their grand-mother house at AL Puram a couple of days ago. On Monday, Govindamma (70), grand-mother of the children cooked chicken curry. By mistake, she mixed pesticides in the chicken curry thinking that it was chicken masala.
She served the adulterated chicken curry to her grand-children with affection. After consuming the poisoned curry, both the children fell unconscious. They were later admitted in Government Hospital in Chittoor where the doctors declared them `brought dead.' The police rushed to the village for investigation of the case, it is learnt.
