New Delhi, Jan. 27 -- A woman has alleged that her food was poisoned at a five-star hotel in Delhi, prompting the registration of an FIR at a police station, officials said.

Following the complaint, a Delhi Police crime team inspected the hotel room where the woman was staying and seized 16 samples of the suspected food and liquids for analysis.

"Based on the current circumstances, it appears that the victim's illness was caused by consuming food from the hotel, which may have contained a poisonous substance," the police said in a statement.

The FIR has been registered under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Section 286, which criminalises the negligent or rash handling of poisonous substances that endanger human life or cause injury.
