The owner and head chef of an Indian restaurant in Kerala have been arrested after a customer was food poisoned. The nurse was rushed to the hospital on December 30 after eating some grilled chicken and a rice dish that she had ordered online from the restaurant. She passed away from the illness on January 2.
