These students lived in a hostel called K. Raguttahalli, which is in Ambajidurga Hobali Kotagal village. The hostel students had idli and sambar for breakfast, but soon after eating, they started feeling stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. So, they were quickly taken to the hospital, however, all the students are safe.

Doctors think this might be a case of food poisoning.
