Mumbai (CNN)—Toxic moonshine has killed 99 people and seriously sickened
scores of others of drinkers from a Mumbai slum, Indian police say.
Forty-six others have been hospitalized, with many in a critical condition,
after consuming the illegal homebrew, Mumbai police spokesman Dhananjay
Kulkarni told CNN.
Authorities said four men and two women had been booked over the deaths, on
charges including culpable homicide, poisoning and abetting a crime.
Eight local police have also been suspended for negligence over the deaths,
he said.
The incident took place near Laxmi Nagar, a large slum in Mumbai, India's
financial capital.
