New Delhi: An alarming incident at Nigam Pratibha Vidyalaya in Delhi's Inderpuri has prompted a police investigation after 23 students were rushed to the hospital due to vomiting on Friday.

The Delhi police have registered a case against unidentified individuals under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) following the distressing event.
