After preliminary tests, they were referred to Sadar hospital for further treatment. The bodies were handed over to the police for post mortem. As per the villagers, who admitted them, the family had fish and rice at night, then they all fell sick. As of now, no information has been obtained about the poisonous food. We will get to know about it only after post-mortem."
