KARACHI: Two employees of a restaurant where two children dined and died from a suspected case of food poisoning were arrested on Wednesday, police said. The siblings, 18-month-old Ahmed and Muhammad, 5, died of alleged food poisoning on November 11, after dining out with their mother at a local eatery. The incident triggered a police investigation into the case, and resulted in the sealing of the restaurant in question. According to police, a case against the two employees has been registered under “reason to murder” and “destroying evidence”. The arrested employees were identified as Amir Akhtar and Irfan Aleem. Medical reports of the children obtained by the police earlier this month revealed that the ill-fated children had consumed substandard food which resulted in food poisoning, eventually causing their death the next day, sources said.
