India swine flu outbreak kills 12
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-17484793Twelve people have died of swine flu in India since the beginning of March, the country's health ministry says.
Half of the deaths have been reported from the western state of Maharashtra. Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka have also reported deaths.
Nearly 130 others have been infected with the virus, and many of them admitted to hospitals.
The cause of the sudden outbreak is not clear. The virus killed more than 450 Indians when it first emerged in 2009.
