A severe feud between two factions of the management over revenue sharing might have led to the food poisoning incident at Maramma temple in Sulivadi village of Chamarajanagar district, police said Tuesday as the toll increased to 15 with the death of another woman.
Health department said Dundamma (51) died Tuesday, while over 100 people were still in different hospitals. As many as 21 persons are still on ventilator in intensive care units.
The government Monday had confirmed that insecticide was found in the 'prasad' served at the temple.
Without divulging much detail, Chamarajanagar district superintendent of police Dharmender Kumar Meena told PTI, "We have made positive progress. Further investigation is on."
