Five people have died and more than a dozen others fall ill after allegedly consuming toxic liquor in Baraj village of Madhya Pradesh’s Sagar district. The incident occurred on the night of Saturday and Sunday. A licensed liquor vendor reportedly alerted the Excise Department a few days ago about the sale of liquor under the 'Bombay Whisky' brand.
Villagers reportedly consumed the liquor on Saturday night, after which many began to vomit and experience nausea. The affected individuals were taken to a hospital, where five of them were declared dead. Six others are hospitalized in serious condition, receiving treatment. Sagar Superintendent of Police Anurag Sujania suspects poisoning as the cause of death, though the exact cause will be determined after post-mortem examinations.
The district administration has launched a magisterial inquiry to investigate how the counterfeit liquor was supplied and how it led to the fatalities.
