The head of the government-run school was found guilty last week of culpable homicide for the 2013 tragedy. In all, nearly 50 children consumed the poiso**us lunch in Saran district in the eastern state of Bihar. "Meena Devi was sentenced to ten years for culpable homicide and seven years for attempt to commit culpable homicide," public prosecutor Sameer Mishra told AFP. Devi was also fined 375,000 rupees ($5,500), with much of the money intended for the families of 24 injured children. Prosecutors said they were satisfied with Monday’s ruling but would challenge the court’s acquittal of her husband Arjun Rai for lack of evidence. Rai allegedly supplied the pesticide-laced oil used to cook the meal. Investigators told the court Rai had stored the pesticide alongside the cooking oil, and supplied the contaminated oil to the school. He had secured the contract for school supplies from his wife without following any guidelines, investigators said. The children, aged four to 12, fell ill within minutes of eating the lunch of lentils, potatoes and rice at their primary school in the poverty-stricken village of Dharmasati Gandaman on July 16, 2013. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Indian principal jailed for 17 years over school meal! || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
