00:00A midnight snack turned into a nightmare.
00:02A family of four in Mumbai died within hours of eating watermelon.
00:07Earlier that night, they hosted relatives for dinner.
00:10Everyone ate the same biryani meal.
00:12But after the guests left, the family ate watermelon at around 1 a.m.
00:17By 5 a.m., all four were violently sick, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea.
00:24They were rushed to hospital in critical condition, but none of them survived.
00:29News spread fast across the city.
00:31People stopped buying watermelons overnight.
00:34Some even returned fruit they had already purchased.
00:37Vendors say sales crashed by nearly 30%.

00:44Experts believe a toxic substance could be involved.
00:47Police are now investigating every possibility.
