Several godowns on the outskirts of the city were also raided, and manufacturers and suppliers of hooch were charged under the Prohibition Act.
Gee, if only this stuff were illegal, mass deaths like this wouldn't happen... (This is in India.)
Dukes of Hyderabad?
Why did God allow this to happen? Should we have a crisis of faith? The media needs to tell me quickly!
Is liquor illegal in India? Well I'm not going to make any jokes considering people died from internal hemmoraging. Yuck...
"spurious liquor"?
Had some of that in college back in the 60s. Gave me the *trots* for a day, but no death. Yikes!
Y'know, back in the day, when my Caucasian-recyclable ancestors were running shine back up in the hills of Virginia, I don't ever remember anybody actually DYING from the stuff. Unless somebody running from a revenooer ran his car over a cliff, of course.
Was this some sort of particularly bad batch of Mad Cow 20/20 that got out on the streets?
