Girl dies after drinking soft drink in college canteen

Friday February 24, 2012 08:04:48 AM, IANS

New Delhi: 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 treatment," a police official said.

Police have seized the cold drink bottle and taken sample from it to check for presence of any poisonous substance.

The victim was a member of National Students' Union of India (NSUI), which is affiliated to the Congress.
