**Two Food Vendors Arrested After Teenager Dies from Food Poisoning**
In a distressing turn of events, two food vendors have been apprehended by the police in Mumbai following the tragic death of a 19-year-old man who consumed ‘chicken shawarma’ from their stall. The victim, identified as Prathamesh Bhokse, purchased the food item from the accused vendors in the Trombay area on May 3.
**Medical Complications Lead to Hospitalization**
The following day, Bhokse began experiencing severe stomach ache and vomiting, prompting him to seek medical attention at a nearby municipal hospital on May 4. Despite receiving treatment, his condition did not improve. Concerned for his well-being, his family members rushed him to the KEM Hospital on May 5, where he was examined by a doctor and subsequently discharged.
**Deteriorating Health and Hospital Admission**
However, Bhokse’s health continued to deteriorate, leading to his readmission to the KEM Hospital on Sunday evening. After a thorough examination, doctors decided to admit him for further observation and treatment. It was at this point that the hospital authorities alerted the police about the suspicious circumstances surrounding Bhokse’s illness.
**Legal Action Taken**
Tragically, Bhokse succumbed to his condition on Monday, prompting law enforcement to take swift action. The police arrested the two food vendors, Anand Kamble and Ahmed Sheikh, and charged them under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
**Ongoing Investigation**
Authorities are conducting a thorough investigation into the incident to determine the exact cause of Bhokse’s death and ascertain the culpability of the vendors in selling contaminated food. The case has sparked outrage among the local community, with many calling for stricter regulations to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
