Following a panic over suspected poisonous liquor in Bunda tehsil, Sagar police have suspended two station in‑charges.
A wave of alarm swept through Bunda tehsil in Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh after reports emerged that a batch of locally sold liquor might be contaminated with poison. Residents complained of sudden illness after consuming the drink, prompting immediate attention from health officials and the district's excise department.
The excise authorities quickly seized the suspect bottles and began an investigation into the source of the toxic alcohol. In parallel, senior police officials launched a separate probe to determine whether any lapses in law‑enforcement oversight contributed to the incident.
