A local education official confirmed the incidents, indicating that the poisoning was orchestrated by an individual with a personal grudge.

According to Mohammad Rahmani, the head of the provincial education department, a total of 80 female students were affected, with 60 students poisoned at Naswan-e-Kabod Aab School and 17 at Naswan-e-Faizabad School in Sangcharak district.
