Police in northern India say a batch of toxic bootleg liquor has killed at least 32 people, mostly poor laborers, and sickened dozens more.
Police officer Arvibnd Sen says the victims bought pouches of tainted liquor Thursday from a shop in Adampur village in Azamgarh district, in Uttar Pradesh state. They started falling sick immediately after drinking the liquor and were taken to local hospitals. Sen said Saturday that 32 people were dead by Friday night, with another 50 being treated in hospitals. (AP)
