Sitting down for a leisurely dinner at a full-service restaurant may sound like a healthier choice but is it really?
Due to Karachi’s top restaurant Arizona Grill (Zamzama branch), along with the sweet shop in Chunky Monkey (Sea view), 2 children Muhammad, 5 years, and his 1.5-year-old brother Ahmed lost their lives in the South City Hospital. Their family members confirmed that the kids and mother reached home at 2am and they started vomiting at 6am. They were taken to the hospital at 2:45pm.
Doctors said that food poisoning tends to affect the body within four hours of its consumption but luckily their mother survived and is still admitted at the hospital.
Chief Minister Sindh, Syed Murad Ali Shah has taken the notice of this heartbreaking incident. He has directed the Commissioner of Karachi to submit a detailed report concerning the inspection of these two facilities.
According to reports, 6 employees have been arrested from Arizona Grill and Chunky Monkey, both has been sealed for more investigation by the police.
