Gujarat girl, 3, her infant sister die; family blames market-bought dosa batter
A meal at home, a sudden illness, and two young lives lost, but the answers remain missing. As contradictions surface and forensic tests fail, a disturbing mystery unfolds in Ahmedabad.
What began as a routine meal inside a home in Ahmedabad has spiralled into a baffling case, after two young sisters died and their parents fell ill. All allegedly after eating dosa.
The Prajapati family has maintained from the start that the tragedy happened soon after the meal. The parents were rushed to the hospital and later recovered. But their daughters, four-year-old Misti and three-month-old Raha, did not survive.
That claim set off a chain of events. Suspicion, forensic tests, and a widening probe. Yet, even days later, the central question remains unanswered: what really caused the deaths?
A CLAIM THAT DOES NOT ADD UP
Investigators soon ran into a troubling contradiction. The dosa batter used at the Prajapati home had been bought from a local shop. But others who purchased and consumed the same batter reported no illness.
For police, that detail changed everything. If the food was the cause, why did no one else fall sick?
The case, once thought to be straightforward, began to take a more complex turn.
FORENSIC TESTS, BUT NO ANSWERS
Viscera samples collected during the post-mortem were sent to the forensic science laboratory, raising hopes that the findings would bring clarity.
The report has now arrived, but instead of answers, it has deepened the mystery.
“In the case, family members had alleged that the deaths occurred after eating dosa. However, the police have not found any concrete evidence in the FSL report,” ACP Digvijaysinh Rana said.
With no clear cause emerging, the investigation has been pushed into uncertain territory.
SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH WIDENS
The FSL report has been sent to the doctors who conducted the post-mortem. They will now analyse the findings and determine the “cause of death”, a crucial step that could shape the direction of the case.
Police, meanwhile, are not ruling out any possibility. From food-related causes to other unexplained circumstances, like murder and joint suicide attempts, are being examined.
Family members have been questioned. The shop owner who supplied the batter has been spoken to. Other customers have been tracked. The parents, Bhavna and Vimal Prajapati, were also questioned after they were discharged from hospital.
Through it all, the family has remained firm. “The children died after eating dosa,” they have said.
The pieces do not fit easily. A meal linked to deaths, but no wider illness. Forensic tests, but no clear findings. Statements that remain unchanged, yet questions that continue to grow.
For now, the case stands at a standstill - suspended between claims and evidence.
The final word now rests with the doctors, whose assessment of the FSL report is expected to determine what really happened inside that home, and whether the truth lies in the meal, or somewhere far more unsettling.
