2 more die in Haridwar hooch tragedy, toll rises to 10

Hindustan Times  

Dehradun: Two more persons who fell ill in Haridwar last week after consuming country-made liquor distributed by a panchayat election candidate have died, taking the total number of deaths due to illicit liquor in the case to 10, police said. Additional superintendent of police, Rekha Yadav, who is heading the three-member special investigation team, said there is no way to confirm that the first two deaths on Friday were linked to the illicit liquor because they were cremated by their family. According to police, the accused brewed the liquor around six months ago and started giving it for free to villagers after his wife filed her nomination for the village head’s post. Haridwar district magistrate Vinay Shankar Pandey earlier denied that consumption of illicit liquor led to the deaths.
