Felled by biryani!

DHAKA: Sixty-four security personnel in Bangladesh, who were charged with WC security, have been laid low by food poisoning, a top police official said on Tuesday.

The security men, some on duty at the main Sher-e-Bangla stadium and others at the teams' hotel, were taken ill after eating chicken biryani supplied by a local contractor.

“Around 80 percent of them were admitted to hospital and are getting saline drips,” Mirpur police chief Qazi Wajed Ali said. “The contractor who supplied the food has been arrested.”

Bangladesh had ramped up security to ‘State-level' for the two quarterfinals to be held in Dhaka on Wednesday and Friday.

The West Indies take on Pakistan on Wednesday with Bangladeshi officials keen to avoid a repeat of the embarrassing March 4 incident when an angry mob pelted the West Indies team bus with stones.

The second quarterfinal here on Friday features South Africa against New Zealand. — AFP
