At least 28 people have died and 60 others had to be hospitalized after consuming altered alcohol in western India.
“They had consumed methyl alcohol, which was almost undiluted, believing it to be liquor,” police official Ashok Kumar Yadav said.
Last year, at least 102 people were killed by drinking adulterated alcohol in a slum in Bombay, western India, said EFE.
The largest poisoning incident occurred in recent years in December 2011 in the eastern state of Bengal, where more than 130 people died as a result of spiked alcohol consumption, according to the same source.
