NEW DELHI: More than 100 people died in Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh after drinking bootleg alcohol, police and media said on Monday, in the worst such case in years.

Many of those who died in Haridwar in Uttarakhand and two districts in neighbouring Uttar Pradesh complained of stomach pains and respiratory problems, relatives and officials said.

Police have arrested four people in connection with the deaths, Haridwar senior superintendent of police Janmaijai Prabhakar told Reuters.

“Total casualties in Haridwar remain at 36 and right now around 18 people are undergoing treatment,” he said.

Officials in Uttar Pradesh could not be reached for latest casualty figures on Monday, but at least 69 people have died in the state, according to newspapers Indian Express and Times of India.

Deaths from illegally-produced alcohol, known locally as “hooch” or “country liquor”, are a regular occurrence in India, where many cannot afford branded spirits.

But the current death toll is believed to be the deadliest outbreak since a similar case killed 172 in West Bengal in 2011.

“He complained of severe stomach ache, so I took him to get an injection,” the wife of one victim, Hira Lal, told Reuters partner ANI. “He was better then and slept after coming back home. (But) the pain resumed, so we took him to the hospital again and they admitted him.”

The district magistrate of Saharanpur district in Uttar Pradesh, Alok Kumar Pandey, said last week that doctors had concluded many victims died “due to liver infection and problems in their respiratory system”.
Do the authorities usually apprehend/punish the culprits?

When Indian democracy is led by illiterate opportunists like Mayavati, Mamata Bannerjee, Mulayam Singh etc. what else can you expect, brother?

Govt raises rates of alcoholic beverages regularly to meet its Agriculture based loan waiver schemes so it is responsibility of Govt to support the deceased tax payer's dependents.

I find it odd that a nation where alcohol is available would still try bootlegging.
Moonshine happens in the US too, just odd that one would take such risks to save money

Well 1.3 Billion. Shi_t may happen sometimes. :(

FYI, this tragedy which is the topic of discussion neither happened in the baston nor under the watch of the aforementioned illiterates. And non of them are the leaders of Indian democracy now. :disagree:

By naming those elected representatives, I intended to point out the quality of Indian democracy. The one who replaced those illiterate cows are no better and there is no chance of any hope.
