Ten Arrested in Dewas Amid Investigation into Alleged Spurious Liquor Deaths
In Madhya Pradesh's Dewas district, police arrested 10 individuals for allegedly selling illicit liquor following claims that several villagers died after consuming spurious liquor. Authorities initiated investigations after two deaths in October and seized liquor and other items during the crackdown. While locals and Congress leaders allege multiple deaths and health impacts, including vision loss, officials have sent samples for forensic testing and reported no poisonous content in tested liquor. A special panel has been formed to probe the incidents further.
