Deaths from Indian toxic alcohol rise to more than 50

In Tamil Nadu, India, a toxic batch of illegal alcohol has claimed over 50 lives, with more than 100 hospitalized. The locally brewed arrack was laced with methanol, causing rapid deaths and blindness among poor laborers. Seven people have been arrested in connection with the tragedy. This incident is one of the worst in recent years, highlighting the ongoing issue of poisonous backstreet moonshine in India, which annually claims hundreds of lives due to its cheap price and high potency.
