One person died and 135 have been hospitalised at six different hospitals since Sunday after suspected food poisoning at Hoskote on the outskirts of the city.
The Health Department is now investigating the source of food poisoning, amidst speculations that it could have been caused by temple ‘prasada’ or even water-borne.
The deceased identified as Siddagangamma, 64, a resident of Kaveri Nagar, consumed the ‘prasada’ which was given by her husband, Shivanna, on Saturday. He visited three temples — Venkataramana Swamy temple, Oorubagilu Anjaneya temple, and Kote Anjaneyaswamy temple.
