Police in Gurugram in northern India arrested a hotel restaurant manager on Tuesday after social media footage appeared to show diners spitting up blood after a meal.
According to BBC News, police said the restaurant served diners after-dinner mouth fresheners containing dry ice.
The hotel restaurant manager was charged with causing harm by poison, The Hindu reported.
Surender Sheoran, Manesar’s assistant commissioner of police, told the ANI news agency that five people became unwell immediately after consuming the after-dinner mouth fresheners at Laforestta Cafe over the weekend.
Sheoran told ANI that the diners “started vomiting and had a burning sensation in their mouth” after consuming the mouth fresheners.
Police told BBC News that their mouths then started to bleed.

Kumar, one of the diners, said he later showed the mouth freshener to a doctor, who confirmed it was dry ice, per The Hindu.
According to The Hindu, Kumar also accused restaurant staff of abandoning them instead of providing help.
BBC News reported that police are conducting a forensic analysis to confirm if the mouth freshener contained carbon dioxide.
The outlet said a search is under way for the restaurant’s owner.
