The students who fell ill had complaints of vomiting on Saturday night after which the warden was informed. All students were then notified to inform of any food poisoning symptoms. “Most girls are now stable. The institute has sent the food samples for testing. We are waiting for the reports to ascertain the exact reason,” a student told the Times of India.

The publication also spoke to an IIT-B spokesperson who said, “About 25 girls fell ill after consuming sweets. They were administered prompt medical care at IIT Bombay hospital and were later discharged. Now they are fine. Mess will remain closed till tomorrow for sanitisation. BMC has inspected the mess too. Cause of the food poisoning is yet to be determined.”
