Hooch Tragedy: Uttar Pradesh govt announces SIT probe

India TV News  

The Uttar Pradesh government on Sunday night announced a probe by a special investigation team in the light of hooch tragedy that has taken lives of over 90 people in the last few days. The latest action of the government came against the backdrop of a blame game over the twin incidents with Adityanath referring to the involvement of the Samajwadi Party in "such mischievous acts" in the past and BSP supremo Mayawati seeking a CBI probe into the matter which she said was a result of "sheer callousness" of the BJP government. Hitting back, Samajwadi Party president and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party government on Sunday over the deaths in the tragedy. BSP chief Mayawati in a statement said that both the state governments were "callous" in their approach towards banning sale of spurious liquor and demanded a CBI probe into the tragedy. Adityanath said he had spoken to his Uttarakhand counterpart Trivendra Singh Rawat and asked him to share details as the spurious liquor was served to the natives of Uttar Pradesh in a Haridwar village.
