In a sad instance, three members of a family from Telangana's Sangareddy district have died in the last two weeks days after consuming home-made Jowar roti. It's suspected that the first death happened soon after the consumption of the roti. Probably unaware that the Jowar roti caused the death of the family member, four others consumed roti made from the same flour recently. A case of indeliberate food poisoning is suspected. The police department, however, is also looking at the foul play angle.

As per a Times Of India report, a 60-year-old and a 55-year-old from the family succumbed days after they were hospitalized earlier this week. Two of the family members are in critical condition.

The roti was reportedly prepared from the flour that had been there in the house for days. It's not known whether there was any deliberate poisoning of the flour by the victims' enemies.

In a statement, TRS Andhole MLA Chanti Kranti Kiran assured that police investigation will bring out the truth.
