This information was shared on the social media platform X, where a user detailed the tragic incident.

According to the screenshot, “A baby with severe allergies was stubbornly fed groundnut soup by his grandma, despite warnings that he shouldn’t be given any soup due to his allergies to common ingredients.” 

Tragically, the baby passed away before the parents could return home. The grandmother’s response was reportedly, “It’s our native soup, so what?”
