Mysterious Deaths in Jammu
Seventeen residents of Badal village in Jammu have died since December due to an undisclosed illness, initially thought to be food poisoning. Symptoms included sudden fever, breathing difficulties, and loss of consciousness, with the first death occurring shortly after a wedding. Medical investigations revealed the presence of neurotoxins in food and within the victims' bodies, leading to quarantines and further testing of food and water sources. Although doctors suspect organophosphate poisoning, definitive conclusions remain elusive as samples are being examined across multiple laboratories.
