Devotees at Kichu Maranda temple felt sick after eating a rice-based offering.
Chamarajnagar, Karnataka:
Outside the emergency ward of KR hospital in Mysuru, families are fighting back tears and worrying for their loved ones. Those who fell sick after consuming poisonous temple prasad that claimed 11 lives in Chamarajnagar district of Karnataka were brought here, some in critical condition. They are being treated for vomiting, diarrhoea and respiratory distress.
Devotees at Kichu Maranda temple, around 160 km from Bengaluru, felt sick after eating a rice-based offering. A devotee who was present at the temple said they were given tomato rice and flavoured water. Among the dead are two children.
Doraiswamy, whose elderly mother has been admitted here, said she had not gone to the temple, but had eaten the prasad brought to her by others. He told NDTV, "Doctors say she is better now."
He wants those responsible to be punished. "They should be brought to the village and then punished," he said.
Those who survived are relieved. But families who lost their loved ones are inconsolable. And yet others whose family members are still not out of danger are worried.
"My daughter Sangeetha is in the hospital. She seems to be getting better. But my grandson has been taken to another hospital. I am worried," said Kulamma.
Raju, Sangeetha's cousin, explained what had happened.
"Sangeetha's father-in-law ate at the temple and packed food for his daughter-in-law and grandchild. They had it before he started feeling sick. They realised something was wrong. He died soon after. Sangeetha is getting better, but the child is in a serious condition," said Raju.
Perumal's mother and two aunts had also eaten at the temple and rushed to the hospital when they started feeling sick. "Their condition is better than yesterday," he told NDTV.
Many crows have also been found dead, reportedly after eating the prasad, suggesting that the food was deliberately poisoned. The police have detained two men and are looking for five more suspects.
Dr CP Nanjaraj, Dean and Director, Mysore Medical College & Research Institute, told NDTV, "We are treating patients for organophosphorus poisoning, a pesticide. We are waiting for the forensic science laboratory report. Since dogs and birds have also died, we are ruling out food poisoning."
The patients were taken to both government and private hospitals. KR Hospital has 13 ventilators, all of which are being used.
BB Kaveri, Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Chamarajanagar district, told NDTV, "Two men have been detained. The investigation is still on. We have moved all the patients from Chamarajnagar to Mysuru for further treatment. Many of them needed ventilators."
Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy visited the hospital on Friday night. His predecessor Siddaramaiah and Karnataka Congress chief Dinesh Gundu Rao also visited the survivors today.
Puttaranga Shetty, the minister in charge of Chamarajanagar visited a hospital where those affected are undergoing treatment. He said a dispute between two groups could be the reason for poisoning.
COMMENT
The state government has announced Rs. 5 lakh each for the families of the dead.

  2. Over 90 devotees who ate 'prasad' are undergoing treatment in hospitals
  3. Chief Minister announced Rs. 5 lakh compensation for victims' families


Two people have been arrested after 11 people died and over 90 were hospitalised after consuming religious food offering - or prasad - at a temple in Karnataka's Chamarajanagar district on Friday, a minister in the state cabinet said.
Devotees at Kichu Maranda temple, around 160 km from Bengaluru, were poisoned after eating a rice-based offering. A devotee who was present at the temple said they were given tomato rice and flavoured water. Among the dead are two children.
Many crows have also been found dead, reportedly after eating the prasad. The police are looking for five more suspects, sources said.
Puttaranga Shetty, the minister in charge of Chamarajanagar visited a hospital where those affected are undergoing treatment. He said a dispute between two groups could be the reason for poisoning.
"Whoever may be the culprit, action will be taken against them. Police are investigating the case and have already arrested two people. There was some dispute between two groups. I think something has happened," Mr Shetty told news agency ANI.
The patients are being treated for vomiting, diarrhoea and respiratory distress, he said.
With many patients requiring ventilator support, it was a challenge to find sufficient number of ventilators. Patients were spread out across government and private hospitals in Mysuru.
The minister said 47 patients were to Care Hospital in Bengaluru, 17 are in JSS Hospital in Mysuru and others are admitted in different Mysuru hospitals. "Around 91 patients have been shifted from Chamarajnagar to Mysuru," he said.
Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy, who visited patients in hospital on Friday night, announced a compensation of Rs. 5 lakh for the families of the victims. Former chief minister Siddaramaiah also met the patients in hospital today.
The police said the religious offering was distributed after the temple's foundation-laying ceremony. "Doctors think the toxin could be pesticide," said an officer, adding that an investigation will confirm how the toxic substance entered the food.

印度衛生官員今天表示,有11人在卡納塔卡省(Karnataka)一座印度教寺廟的儀式中食用米飯後,中毒身亡,這些米飯可能被有毒物質污染。
寺廟所在地查馬拉賈納加爾(Chamraj Nagar)地區衛生官員普拉薩(K. H. Prasad)說:「截至目前,有11人死亡、93人送醫,而送醫者中有29人使用呼吸器維生。」
普拉薩告訴法新社:「米飯可能混入了某種有毒物質,採樣已送鑑定單位檢驗。」
普拉薩還說,患者有嘔吐、腹瀉和呼吸窘迫等症狀。
當時在現場的一名信徒說,廟方提供番茄飯和加味水給眾人食用。
新德里電視台(NDTV)引述他的話報導:「食物散發出腐臭味,不過那些站在排頭的人仍把東西吃下肚。」
「過了一會兒,他們開始嘔吐和口吐白沫。」
