Panel formed to probe spurious liquor death claims in Madhya Pradesh's Dewas; report in 15 days
Some villagers have claimed that at least 10 persons died after consuming spurious liquor in Dewas district between September 27 and October 16
The Madhya Pradesh Government has created a five-member committee to investigate claims that at least ten people died due to spurious liquor in Dewas district. According to officials, the panel will present its findings within fifteen days. The Ujjain divisional Commissioner assembled the committee following conflicting reports about the incidents.
Some villagers allege that ten individuals passed away from consuming adulterated liquor between September 27 and October 16. The local administration had previously dismissed these claims as false and misleading. However, they later informed that the viscera samples of two deceased individuals have been sent to a forensic science laboratory for examination.
The cause of death will be determined after receiving the laboratory reports. Fourteen of the 30 accused individuals mentioned in the FIRs have already been arrested, and law enforcement is actively searching for the remaining suspects.
