Twenty-eight students of a madrassa in Bhiwandi were hospitalised for food poisoning after they ate biryani served at a local function in Roshan Bagh on Wednesday. According to officials with the Bhiwandi Nizampura Municipal Corporation, the students study Urdu and Arabic in the madrassa. Officials said that they were invited for a Niyaaz ceremony, an Islamic custom where food is served to the underprivileged. The students were taken to a primary health care centre after complaining of nausea.
