PATNA: Thousands of school children were refusing free meals in Bihar, fearful of being poisoned, after 22 children died from eating lunch apparently contaminated with insecticide, officials said on Thursday.

The children, aged four to 12, died after eating lentils, vegetables and rice cooked at a village school in Bihar on Tuesday, sparking violent protests and an investigation into the cause.

Some 30 children remain ill in hospitals in the state capital Patna and the city of Chhapra after eating the food, which initial tests showed may have been tainted with insecticide.
