According to her grandfather, Harban Lal, the family began feeling unwell around 10 PM on March 24, shortly after consuming the cake. Manvi and her sister started vomiting, and Manvi complained of extreme thirst and dryness in her mouth before going to bed.

As Manvi's health worsened the next morning, the family rushed her to the hospital. Despite being administered oxygen and undergoing an electrocardiogram (ECG) to monitor her heart's activity, she couldn't be saved and was declared dead shortly after arrival, Harban Lal confirmed.
