A seven year old boy was taken ill after drinking Frooti bought from a shop located just beside the Pratap Talkies at about 2.30 pm today.
Following complaints of abdominal pain and burning sensation in the stomach, the boy was treated at Shija Hospital.
The sick boy is identified as Md Zakir s/o Md Sanajaoba of Thoubal Moijing.
Md Zakir who followed his mother to Paona Bazar bought three packets of Frooti from the shop run by a non-local named Md Wahid.
While he drank one of the packets having manufacturing date 12-5-07, the other were consumed by his mother and sister.
Even as Md Zakir had not drunk half of the Frooti packet, he cried out complaining of acute pain/burning sensation in the abdomen.
He is currently undergoing treatment at Shija Hospital.
The Frooti packet drunk by the boy had a peculiar foul smell and it has been seized.
According to shopkeeper Md Wahid, the Frooti packets were bought from one dealer Pansal located at Thangal Bazar.
