Thirteen students of a government school who accidentally consumed sesame laddus laced with rat poison, meant to kill rodents, were rushed to Government Medical College Hospital in Dharmapuri. The students are said to be out of danger.

The students, aged 17-18, of Begarahalli Government Higher Secondary School, were rushed to the nearest primary health centre, after they ate the laddus, brought by a fellow student to the school.

A student of Gejanayakkanahalli village, D. Palanichamy, reportedly brought the sesame laddus to school in a packet, and shared it among his classmates. It was later found that his father had laced the laddus with rat poison and set them aside to kill rodents at home. Unaware of this, the boy had brought them to school.

After eating the laddus, 13 boys, including Palanichamy, complained of giddiness, and a few others vomited and fainted. They were rushed to the nearest primary health centre. From there, the boys were taken to the Government Medical College Hospital in Dharmapuri. Their condition is being monitored.
