Rudy wants govt to probe into litchi-link in AES deaths

BJP member from Bihar Rajiv Pratap Rudy Friday urged the government to probe whether linking deaths of children due to Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) in the state to consumption of litchis was part of a conspiracy to damage the brand name of the fruit. Participating in a debate during the Zero Hour, Rudy said the situation in Bihar's Muzaffarpur was worrisome.
