The celebration took place around 7 PM on March 24. However, by 10 PM the same night, the entire family experienced sickness, with both sisters starting to vomit soon after consuming the cake.

Manvi, feeling extreme thirst and complaining of dryness in her mouth, requested water before retiring to bed, recounted her grandfather, Harban Lal, NDTV reported. Tragically, she succumbed to the suspected food poisoning thereafter.

Following Manvi's deteriorating health, her family rushed her to the hospital the next morning. Medical interventions, including oxygen support and an electrocardiogram (ECG) to monitor her heart's electrical activity, were administered. Despite these efforts, they were unable to save her, and she was pronounced dead shortly after arrival, as informed by her grandfather, Harban Lal.

The family has raised allegations that the chocolate cake, procured from 'Cake Kanha', may have contained a harmful substance, leading to the tragic outcome. Consequently, an FIR has been lodged against the bakery owner under Sections 273 and 304A of the IPC.
