One of her relatives then bought her a packet of chocolates from the grocery store.

Meanwhile, a team of state health department went to the grocery store to collect the samples. The department later confirmed that the shop sold expired eatables. Other expired snacks were also seized from the shop.

The owner of the shop, however, said he had no knowledge of the products being expired.

Police said strict action would be taken against the shop owner if found guilty. Expired food products can be harmful, especially for young children whose immune systems are still developing. Consuming expired food can lead to food poisoning and other serious health issues.

A similar incident emerged in Patiala last month when a 10-year-old girl died after consuming a poisonous cake on her birthday. Other members of her family had also fallen ill but survived.

An investigation later found that the bakery from where the cake was ordered was not registered with the authorities and was running under a fake name.
