According to one of the victims, he and his friends had bought the milk from a vendor who sold almond milk and falooda drinks from a push cart during the fair held between April 1 and 2. With the sunny weather, many festival-goers purchased the drinks. However, by Thursday midnight, many of those who had consumed them began experiencing severe symptoms, including vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and fever with chills.

The victims were rushed to the Singupuram primary health care center, where they are currently receiving treatment under medical supervision. District Collector Swapnil Dinkar Pundkar confirmed that enhanced medical services are being provided. Authorities suspect that the illness was caused by substandard drinks sold at the fair. He also announced the formation of a special team to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident.
