Experts have found the cause behind the "mystery illness" that has claimed at least 17 lives in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri. The deaths had sparked fear and panic in the Budhal village over the past month, leading to a central team being formed to probe the cause. Doctors had earlier ruled out any virus or bacterial presence in the samples. In the latest update, Union Minister Jitendra Singh told the media that the illness was due to cadmium toxin.
