Nine people die in Nagaland’s Tuensang district hospital over three days after allegedly consuming spurious liquor. Reports say the victims complained of breathlessness after drinking suspected adulterated rum. Local police issue an alert and investigations begin into the suspected source of the contaminated alcohol.
Authorities investigate where the liquor was obtained and who may be responsible for selling or supplying it. The focus is on identifying the substance involved, confirming whether it is spurious, and tracing any supply chain linked to the suspected rum. Public advisories are issued urging people to avoid consuming liquor until the matter is cleared.
All reported accounts describe the same incident timeline, location, and suspected link to adulterated liquor, with officials treating it as an ongoing investigation rather than a confirmed cause until testing and inquiries are completed.
