Three men, including a local quack, died after they consumed a herbal concoction that the quack offered them to reduce belly fat and to fight diabetes near Tenkasi in Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu.
The 30-year-old quack Muthupandi, police said, had been offering the concoction to the other two victims for the last 10 days at a coconut grove.
He always used to consume the concoction that he offered others, but today the men vomited and fainted soon after they took it.
"We are investigating the matter and have registered a case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder," said a police officer.
