A tragic incident has gripped Vadodara, Gujarat, as a 5-year-old girl, Dhyani Thakkar, passed away allegedly after consuming a cough syrup for cold and cough symptoms. The heartbreaking event, which occurred in the Elora Park area of Vadodara, has led to serious allegations from the girl's family, prompting a police investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death. Dhyani, who had lost both her parents at a young age, resided with her grandparents and was reportedly given the cough syrup, purchased by her paternal uncle from a medical store without a prescription, two days prior to her passing. According to her grandmother, Dhyani's health deteriorated rapidly after having water puri and milk before going to sleep. She was rushed to S. S. G. Hospital but was tragically declared dead upon arrival. The child's aunt, Rupal Patel, expressed strong suspicions regarding the death, questioning the safety of the medicine and demanding justice. She intervened to halt the last rites until a post-mortem could be conducted, triggering a full police probe. Vadodara B Division ACP R. D. Kava has confirmed legal proceedings are underway, and the authorities are awaiting the post-mortem report to ascertain the exact cause of death. This incident has raised significant public concern, especially in light of recent past events in India where contaminated cough syrups have been linked to child deaths in other states, leading to bans and arrests. While the specific syrup and any potential contamination are yet to be confirmed in Dhyani's case, the family's allegations highlight a critical need for rigorous quality control and responsible dispensing of medicines. The case underscores ongoing challenges in ensuring the purity and safety of pharmaceutical products in the country.
