Bhopal, Jan. 2 -- Early reports from an inquiry into the deaths of at least nine residents in Indore's Bhagirathpura area confirmed the presence of bacteria "generally found in sewer water" in drinking water samples, officials familiar with the matter said on Thursday, three days after the first of victims were brought in with vomiting and diarrhoea. Officials earlier said that the cause of bacterial infection likely lay in a sewage pipeline leeching into a drinking water line, and added on Thursday that more results are awaited before specific pathogens can be identified.
