The FIR was registered following a complaint by the mid-day meal in-charge of the government school.

According to the FIR, around 9am on July 3, a mid-day meal (rice and chana dal) supplied by an NGO arrived at the school.

The food items were received in four sealed containers and kept in a covered, hygienic place as usual. It added that, after some time, the sealed containers were checked in the presence of the deputy director of education (DDE) for Zone-14 and the DDE for District West-A.
