Madhya Pradesh's Chhindwara has reportedly witnessed the passing of another baby following the consumption of cough syrup on Thursday. The incident comes only weeks after 24 kids had died in Betul and Chhindwara districts, allegedly after consuming a spurious cough syrup manufactured by a Chennai-based firm. However, the latest episode reportedly involves an Ayurvedic medicine.

The incident was reported in Bichua village, Chhindwara where Ruhi Minote, daughter of Sandeep Minote, was given an Ayurvedic cough syrup bought from the local pharmacy. The infant showed cough and cold symptoms, yet her condition worsened hours after the syrup was administered. The parents quickly rushed her to the Community Health Centre around 4.30 am. However, she was declared dead on arrival by the doctors.
