The toll due to consumption of spurious liquor in the Malad area of Mumbai climbed to 94 with the death of four more persons on Sunday.

"The death toll has risen to 94 while 45 are still undergoing treatment in various hospitals of the city," Mumbai's Deputy Commissioner of Police Dhananjay Kulkarni told PTI.

The incident had occurred at Laxmi Nagar slum near Gamdevi Jurassic Park in Malwani in suburban Malad on Wednesday night. This is the worst hooch tragedy in the city since December 2005 when 87 people lost their lives due to consumption of spurious liquor in suburban Vikhroli.

The police have already arrested five accused in the case but the prime accused -- Mainka Bai -- is still on the run.

Read in a DB years ago that even poor's are responsible for it because it cost less so they play with their life by paying less.

Yeah. Govt too feels that in a population of 150 billion such deaths should happen to control population explosion.
