Hooch tragedy: Death toll rises to 111

Ahmedabad, Jul 10 (PTI) The hooch tragedy continues to
unfold in India's western city of Ahmedabad with the death
toll climbing to 111 in four days while over 200 people were
still undergoing treatment at various hospitals.

"The death toll in the hooch tragedy has reached to
111, while 222 people are still admitted in various hospital
of Ahmedabad," police officials said.

The spurious liquor that has claimed 111 lives in the
city had come from Mehamdabad in neighbouring Kheda district
about 35 km from here, city crime branch officials
investigating the case said Friday.

"A consignment of spurious brew had been brought in
the city from Mehamdabad and distributed in different parts
of the city," a crime branch official told PTI.

The bandh call by Congress had a partial affect as some
of the schools and colleges remained closed.

Congress workers also ransacked a BJP office on the
outskirts of the city after which around 20 workers were
detained and later released by police. PTI PD
