A young girl died and three others fell ill in two separate suspected food poisoning incidents at educational institutions in Bihar, one at a madrasa in Supaul and another at a school in Bhagalpur.

The case in Supaul involved a girl who died after apparently consuming contaminated food at a local madrasa. In a separate incident in Bhagalpur, three individuals at a school became ill under similar circumstances.

Authorities in both districts are investigating the incidents to determine the exact cause of the suspected food poisoning.
