Batch of bootleg alcohol kills more than 100
A tainted batch of bootleg alcohol has killed at least 102 people and sent dozens more to hospital in villages outside the eastern Indian city of Kolkata, officials said.
Day labourers and other poor workers began falling ill late on Tuesday after drinking the brew that was laced with methanol around the village of Sangrampur, about 20 miles south of Kolkata, according to district magistrate Narayan Swarup Nigam.
