Maharashtra FDA Tests Watermelon Samples After Four Deaths; Fruit Vanishes from Mumbai Markets
Four members of a family died after consuming watermelon in Mumbai's Bhendi Bazaar, prompting a Maharashtra FDA investigation that has been hampered by the complete disappearance of watermelons from local markets. The deceased are Abdulla Dakodia (44), his wife Nasreen (35), and daughters Ayesha (16) and Zainab (12). FDA officials need 500gm of watermelon from four different areas within a 5-10km radius but have found none from Wadala to Byculla. Test results for samples seized from the home have been delayed.
