The president of a students' union died Thursday apparently due to
food poisoning after she had a cold drink from her college
canteen, police said.
Kanika Sharma, 20, a resident of Ghaziabad on the outskirts of
Delhi, had had a cold drink from the canteen of Vivekananda
College where she was studying in BA third year and was heading
the students' union.
"Kanika fell ill after drinking a cold drink from the college
canteen at around 9 a.m. She was rushed to E.S.I. Hospital in
Jhilmil Colony (east Delhi). But she passed away during
