Mumbai: The death toll in the Malad hooch tragedy on Saturday climbed to 87 even as the Excise department suspended four of its officials in connection with the incident.
According to Mumbai Police spokesman Dhanajay Kulkarni, 87 people have died so far while 34 are undergoing treatment at eight different hospitals across the city. The incident occurred at Laxmi Nagar slum near Gamdevi Jurassic park in suburban Malad on Wednesday night.
Police has already arrested five accused in the case but prime accused Mainka Bai is still on the run. Earlier too, we had booked Mainka Bai alias Akka in connection with spurious liquor but she managed to get bail, he added.
The officials who were suspended are: Jagdeesh Deshmukh, Rajendra Salunkhe, Versha Vengulkar and Dhanaji Dalvi, against whom a departmental enquiry would be launched soon, said State Excise Department Commissioner Shyamsundar Shinde.
